Overview

21 University Avenue, Canberra

Rook is a boutique collection of 66 residences that sets a new standard of luxury in Canberra. Located at 21 University Avenue, this development offers exceptional design, quality, and individuality rarely seen in the local market.

Situated on the doorstep of Canberra's CBD and the Australian National University, the location provides excellent connectivity and convenience. Residents enjoy close proximity to Lake Burley Griffin, the Parliamentary Triangle, and some of Canberra's finest dining and lifestyle precincts, ensuring all amenities are within easy reach.

The residences include a selection of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, each thoughtfully designed to be both refined and highly liveable. The project draws inspiration from the theme of a chessboard, with each level representing a classic chess piece, creating a cohesive yet distinctive identity for the building.

Levels 1 to 9, known as the Rook, form a strong and refined foundation. These residences are exceptionally well finished, featuring generous proportions and northerly or north-western orientations. Buyers have the opportunity to customise interiors to suit their personal style.

The building ascends through Levels 10 to 13, named Knight, Bishop, Queen, and King respectively. These upper levels are individually designed with a limited number of residences on each floor and no repeated floorplans, ensuring uniqueness for every home.

The penthouses at the top of the building embody the concept of Checkmate, offering unmatched scale, privacy, and presence. Every detail within Rook has been meticulously considered, from flooring and material selections to joinery, fixtures, and hardware, all chosen to create a cohesive and elevated living experience.

This development goes beyond standard finishes, presenting a carefully curated palette designed to feel refined, timeless, and of the highest quality. Residents can personalise their space with the support of an expert interior design team.

With only 66 residences and no repeated designs on the upper levels, Rook represents a rare opportunity to secure a truly individual home. It establishes a new benchmark in design, quality, and lifestyle in Canberra.

Prices start from approximately $589,900. Interested buyers are encouraged to reach out for more detailed pricing information. A $5,000 deposit can secure a preferred residence, with construction anticipated to commence in 2027.
