Leading Malaysian
property developer,
UEM Sunrise,
and Australian Tier 1 contractor
Probuild are proud to announce that
Melbourne CBD’s new tallest and most significant tower,
Aurora
Melbourne Central, has officially reached its highest point.
Topping out at a staggering 289m AHD, Aurora Melbourne Central is an
88-storey
mixed-use development comprising 959 residential
apartments,
252 serviced apartments, office suites and premium retail space. Having
now reached its structural peak, it towers over the CBD’s current
tallest tower, The Rialto, which is at 270m AHD.
UEM Sunrise Managing Director and CEO, Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib, said
that this is not only a major milestone for UEM Sunrise, being the
company’s second project to top out in Australia in the past 12 months,
but also a testament to the growth of Melbourne’s prospering CBD.
“Aurora Melbourne Central is UEM Sunrise’s flagship development in
Australia, so it is a very important moment for us to see it
structurally reach its peak. It is a testament to the work of all
parties involved in the project, including our construction partner
Probuild, that it has been so successful thus far, and it’s fantastic
that we are able to celebrate this milestone together.
“UEM Sunrise is very proud to be bringing such a significant and top
quality project to the Melbourne CBD that not only provides extensive
residential, commercial and premium retail space for the community to
grow into, but will create more than 500 ongoing opportunities for
employment upon its completion and has seen over 3000 jobs created
during construction,” said Mr. Syahrin.
City of Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp welcomed the city’s newest
building.
“Melbourne is renowned for our stunning city skyline and we now have an
exciting new addition with Aurora Melbourne Central.
“This mixed-use development by UEM Sunrise and Probuild will see new
residents and businesses move into the CBD and I look forward to
welcoming them into our great city,” the Lord Mayor said.
Aurora Melbourne Central offers residents unparalleled connectivity and
convenience, being the only residential development in Melbourne to have
a direct underground connection to Melbourne Central Train Station,
Melbourne Central Shopping Centre, Emporium, Myer, David Jones and
Bourke St Mall via a series of underground and overhead pedestrian
bridges. Furthermore, top tier educational institutions such as RMIT
University and The University of Melbourne are only a short walk away.
Probuild’s Victorian Managing Director, Luke Stambolis, said Probuild
couldn’t be prouder to have delivered Melbourne CBD’s tallest mixed-use
tower.
“It is an absolute honour to be working with UEM Sunrise to deliver
Aurora Melbourne Central, an icon in the Melbourne skyline,” he said.
“A building of this magnitude is truly world class, and at Aurora
Melbourne Central we have been able to take advantage of the latest in
construction innovations to ensure a seamless delivery across multiple
stages.
“Aurora Melbourne Central has been strategically constructed to enable a
staged handover, where residents have been able to move into the first
two completed stages since October 2018, while construction continues
safely above at higher levels.”
Construction of the final stages of this landmark project is expected to
be completed this coming August.
The development is 100% sold, with 95% selling out in just two weeks of
launch to local and international buyers.
