Rook, Canberra

A boutique collection of just 66 residences, Rook introduces a level of design, quality and individuality rarely seen in the Canberra market. Positioned at 21 University Avenue, on the doorstep of the CBD and the Australian National University, this is a location defined by connection and convenience. Moments to Lake Burley Griffin, the Parliamentary Triangle and some of Canberra's best dining and lifestyle precincts, everything you need is within easy reach. Offering a selection of one, two and three bedroom residences, each home has been thoughtfully designed to feel both refined and highly liveable. Inspired by the theme of a chessboard, the project takes a playful approach to classic chess pieces, with each level carrying its own identity while remaining cohesive as a whole. Levels 1 to 9 form the Rook. A strong and refined foundation where every residence is exceptionally well finished, offering generous proportions, northerly or north-western orientation and the ability to customise your interiors to suit your own style. The building then rises through Level 10 Knight, Level 11 Bishop, Level 12 Queen and Level 13 King. These upper levels have been individually designed, with only a limited number of residences on each and no repeated floorplans, ensuring every home is entirely unique. Crowning the building, the penthouses and the concept of Checkmate deliver a level of scale, privacy and presence that is truly unmatched. Every element within Rook has been meticulously considered. From the flooring and material selections through to the joinery, fixtures and hardware, each detail has been carefully chosen to create a cohesive and elevated living experience. This is not a standard developer finish. It is a carefully curated palette, designed to feel refined, timeless and of the highest quality, while still allowing you to personalise your space with the support of an expert interior design team. With just 66 residences, no repeated designs on the upper levels and a level of finish that goes far beyond the expected, Rook represents a rare opportunity to secure something truly individual. A new benchmark in design, quality and lifestyle in Canberra. Prices start from approximately $589,900 - Reach out for more pricing information.
