This 1.7 million sq.ft., 79 storey residential tower is Canada's fourth tallest condominium building. Five stories of underground parking accommodate the 940 residential units including five floors of ultra luxurious penthouses. A 5 storey, 250,000 sf podium sits at the base of the tower.
During construction, a temporary loading dock access ramp was built to be in operation 24 hours a day while a permanent steel bridge was constructed through the site using top-down construction methods. Not only is Aura one of the first fully sprinklered residential building in Toronto, but it also includes individual water source heat pumps for each unit.
