Aqualand

It was an extremely exciting day for us today, as we celebrated another significant milestone for the company - the completion of our landmark mixed-use North Sydney precinct, AURA by Aqualand. Our project delivery partners, stakeholders, staff and special guests joined the Mayor of North Sydney, Zoë Baker, our Group Managing Director, Jin Lin, and our Group Executive Chairman, Warwick Smith AO, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was followed by a luncheon and staff celebration. Jin said the project’s completion was perfectly timed to coincide with Aqualand’s 10th anniversary, and showcases what Aqualand has come to stand for over the last decade. “Delivering AURA has been an incredibly challenging and rewarding experience for us all at Aqualand, and I couldn’t be any prouder of our entire team today. “However, we couldn’t have delivered AURA without the trust and support of our clients, and we look forward to welcoming them as they begin moving in over the coming weeks,” he said.

A growing trend is emerging as more Australians trade traditional homes for well-located luxury apartments—proving that downsizing is no longer about compromise, but about elevating lifestyle. Natalie and Costa Mina always assumed they would downsize eventually, but they didn’t expect it to happen so soon. With both of their sons studying overseas, the couple found themselves alone in a large house in Riverview. Curious about the market, they began exploring options and were instantly drawn to the AURA by Aqualand development in North Sydney. They quickly listed their family home and made the move into a new two-bedroom apartment. 🔗 Read the full article in our link in bio.

In a city defined by world-famous landmarks, AURA by Aqualand is shaping a new chapter for North Sydney’s skyline.
