The design of Aero Apartments in Newcastle West included a vision for a truly unique precast concrete cladding that would make the building stand out on Newcastle’s emerging skyline.

Used as a façade, often for industrial and commercial builds, non-structural precast concrete panels are generally attached to the buildings steel structural frame. Available in a variety of thicknesses, these cladding panels offer a high level of fire resistance, good thermal mass, fast and efficient erection and increased design flexibility.
Our panels are available with custom door and window voids, and service inclusions for lighting, power, data and ventilation/air conditioning. Hunter Precast also offer decorative panels boasting coloured concrete, decorative patterns and in any curve radius.
Panels are available up to 10 metres long and 3.6 metres wide.
Typical thicknesses include:

A dado wall traditionally refers to the lower third of a wall being different to the upper third. In this case, concrete precast panels often installed below sheet metal. Predominantly used in warehouses and industrial sheds, precast concrete dado walls are generally set at 2.4m high and offer security and protection to the bottom of a predominantly steel-clad structure.
Benefits also include an increased fire rating and greater protection from vehicle and mobile plant impacts.

Precast concrete balustrades make for a cost effective and stylish solution for commercial and residential builds alike. Incorporated as part of, or all of, the balustrade, precast can offer accents to any design whilst also offering privacy and sound reflection.

The design of Aero Apartments in Newcastle West included a vision for a truly unique precast concrete cladding that would make the building stand out on Newcastle’s emerging skyline.
Hunter Precast was proud to supply 2,170 precast panels, covering an impressive 19,784m², to the landmark ONE Apartments development in Newcastle West. As the largest project ever undertaken by Hunter Precast, this build demonstrates our capacity to deliver high-volume, high-complexity precast solutions at scale.
Our scope included façade, core, balustrade, and column panels, combining architectural design with robust structural performance across the tower’s mixed-use residential and commercial levels.
The project involved:
95 installation campaigns from November 2023 to April 2025
4,221m³ of concrete (≈10,341 tonnes)
404 tonnes of complex reinforcement cages
151 km of stock bar
115 pallets of grout (48 bags each), installed by hand
The result is a striking addition to Newcastle’s skyline, setting new standards in precision and quality for large-scale precast delivery.
