Aurora is a distinctive high rise hotel and with residential accommodation that had to overcome many challenges of building in the central city, particularly as it sits almost on top of one of the key stations of the new Melbourne Metro train line.  Parts of the building needed to be redesigned to factor in this station and it presented significant engineering issues that needed to be carefully resolved.  It is now the tallest building in the Melbourne CBD and holds a prime location with a major train station at its door.
