The Aurora Apartments, St Kilda, Melbourne, developed by John Sage

The Aurora project began in 1996 with a clear choice—build an ordinary apartment block or deliver a residential landmark defined by quality and design excellence.

Homes Designed to Inspire

Aurora offers residents a place that reflects lifestyle, comfort, and individuality.

Despite market uncertainty at the time, John Sage committed to a design-first philosophy.

Working with Nigel Fitton, the project embraced architectural innovation and resident-focused design.

Engineering Excellence

Open-engineered commercial construction enabled flexibility, spacious layouts, and higher ceilings.

This approach allowed Aurora to stand apart as a thoughtfully designed residential development.
