UEM Sunrise celebrated the ‘topping out’ of Aurora Melbourne Central in Australia, the tallest mixed-use building in the Central Business District (CBD) at a ceremony on the building’s rooftop on 5 April 2019.

The ‘topping out’ ceremony was held at Aurora Melbourne Central’s staggering 289m AHD (Australian Height Datum) 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. Aurora Melbourne Central was strategically constructed to enable a staged handover, where residents have been able to move into the first two completed stages since October 2018.

The luxury residential building by UEM Sunrise and  Australian Tier 1 contractor Probuild offers its 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.

The topping out ceremony was led by Ms. Sally Capp, the City of Melbourne Lord Mayor, in the presence of Ms. Christina Foo, UEM Sunrise’s Independent Non-Executive Director, En. Mohamed Rastam Shahrom, UEM Sunrise’s Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Ong Chee Wei, UEM Sunrise’s Project Director – International Development and Mr. Luke Stambolis, Probuild’s Victorian Managing Director.

The final stage of construction for Aurora Melbourne Central is expected to be completed this coming August. To view a 13-second time lapse video of its construction, click here.
