Everything a buyer needs to know about Aurora on Depper, St Lucia townhouses
Brisbane developer Dusk Group made a point to start construction on its latest townhouse development, Aurora on Depper in St Lucia, before taking it to market.
They commissioned AKAM Constructions to handle the build of the eight townhouses at 68-72 Depper Street that fills the need for a dwelling type in St Lucia between apartments and standalone houses.
Urban.com.au CEO Mike Bird recently sat down with Huw Feeney, Director at Dusk Group, to talk about Aurora on Depper.
Aurora on Depper aims to provide a more diverse range of housing options in this sought-after area by introducing eight three and four-bedroom townhouses, each designed with multi-purpose rooms that offer flexibility for use as a home office, additional bedroom, or second living area.
The townhouses are spread across three levels and are expected to appeal to a range of buyers, including downsizers, young families, and those with children attending the nearby University of Queensland.
The project is designed by Elevate Design Studio, known for its work on residential developments that meet the needs of modern living.
Each townhouse will feature a two-car garage, kitchens with zero silica benchtops and butler's pantries, and hybrid timber flooring throughout the living areas. The inclusion of these features reflects a focus on both functionality and contemporary design.
Aurora is just 300 metres from the City Cat and major bus networks.
The project, which recently broke ground, is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
