Aurora Place

Aurora Place is a 41-story mixed-use building located on Phillip Street in Sydney. Designed by architect Renzo Piano, the structure is recognized for its modern facade and contribution to the city skyline. Visitors typically visit to view the architecture or access the commercial and residential spaces within the complex.

Getting There

The building is located within the Sydney central business district. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk or a brief trip on public transport, typically taking less than 10 minutes depending on the starting point.

Duration of Visit

Since this is a mixed-use commercial and residential landmark rather than a traditional museum or gallery, a visit for architectural viewing generally requires 30 to 60 minutes.

When to Visit

The exterior is visible at all times, though daylight provides the clearest view of the facade's design. As it is located in a primary business district, the area becomes crowded during weekday morning and evening commute hours.

Due to its central location, this landmark can be combined with several other nearby sites within walking distance:

  • Museum of Sydney (0.2km)
  • State Library of New South Wales (0.2km)
  • Deutsche Bank Place (0.2km)
  • Sydney Mint (0.4km)
