AURA by Aqualand to boast a dining precinct befitting North Sydney’s burgeoning reputation as a foodie’s destination

AURA by Aqualand is in the process of rapidly rising from its unique North Sydney location which borders Sydney’s second largest CBD and a well-established residential suburb, while simultaneously a rapid transformation of the precinct is also underway. People are flocking to North Sydney to visit some of the most highly-rated and chic restaurants to have opened recently, which are firmly establishing this vibrant suburb as a foodie’s paradise. 

Located at 168 Walker Street, the $1B mixed-use residential development, designed by award-winning architects Woods Bagot and Richards Stanisich, will feature 386 luxury apartments above an extensive retail precinct. Currently under construction, practical completion is expected by mid-2024. 

AURA by Aqualand’s podium level will be bustling with a curated selection of  food and beverage outlets operated by Etymon Projects, including a providore, bakery/café/wine bar, an all-day diner and a contemporary Japanese eatery. The all-day diner will be LA-inspired, boasting a vibrant all occasion restaurant perfect for weeknight dinners, weekend celebrations, and social or corporate gatherings. The onsite Bakery, Café and Wine Bar will transverse day to night dining, the perfect option for AURA residents at any point in the day. The project's modern Japanese restaurant is sure to be a standout, offering clean flavours executed with a sense of fun. 

For those who enjoy crafting gourmet meals in the comfort of home, the Providore currently planned for AURA will focus on artisinal, sustainable, and modern-day groceries. 

Not only will this precinct deliver an enviable and convenient lifestyle to the doorstep of its residents, but it will also embed AURA by Aqualand within the broader dining expansion of North Sydney. 

Since Sydney’s re-opening after the pandemic, several fabulous new North Sydney restaurants have received excellent reviews. Gloreitta and Green Moustache are two of the most popular. Glorietta specialises in Italian food with some exquisite craft cocktails, whilst Green Moustache is North Sydney’s only rooftop bar, perfect for an afternoon drink with friends on a summer’s day. 

RAFI is a North Sydney bar and restaurant that delivers sun-soaked alfresco dining. Receiving high praise from early visitors, this is likely to be a hot spot for residents at AURA by Aqualand. 

But savvy future AURA by Aqualand residents who don’t want to venture too far from home will have the exciting new dining options just a few floors below them, delivering on the vision behind AURA by Aqualand, which is to not just create beautiful homes for residents, but also to foster a one-of-a-kind cosmopolitan lifestyle. In keeping with this vision, each of the offerings in the ground floor have been carefully considered by the team at Etymon to establish a lasting, vibrant community. These venues will bring visitors in from around North Sydney and beyond and act as the perfect playground for residents to live in bliss each and every day. 

For added convenience, residents will be able to speak to the incredible onsite concierge service at AURA by Aqualand, which will provide a five-star hotel experience for residents. They will be able to help you book in at any of the fabulous bars, cafes, or restaurants in North Sydney on your wish list. 

In addition to the incredible eateries and retail on the ground level, AURA by Aqualand will boast resident-only dining and entertainment areas, barbecue facilities, pool and gymnasium and a sun deck.
