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

John Sage’s acquisition of the Aurora site in 1996 marked the beginning of a development focused on architectural quality rather than short-term savings.

A Residential Vision

Aurora was designed to be a place of comfort, identity, and connection.

Purchased during a cautious market phase, the site demanded a thoughtful approach.

Rejecting low-cost design trends, John Sage partnered with Nigel Fitton to deliver a distinctive residential building.

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.
