Northpoint Tower, centrally located in North Sydney CBD has been overhauled, with the redevelopment project including a newly-constructed hotel and a complete reclad of the facade using Fairview's Vitracore G2.

Built in 1975, the fascia of Northpoint Tower was beginning to raise safety concerns for visitors with the pebblecrete showing signs of spalling and degradation of the river-gravel facade. The building owners’ plan to reinvigorate the North Sydney retail and leisure offering required the iconic 44-level mixed-use building to be transformed inside and out at a project value of $15,000,000.

The pebblecrete that showed signs of corrosion and delamination were removed from the facade, and were replaced with 22,000 m² of Vitracore G2 in 'Silver Ice Metallic' and 'Asteroid Pearl Metallic.' Fairview's leading DtS, deemed non-combustible aluminium cladding panel, tested to AS1530.1 in accordance with the BCA. It also added to the safety, durability, longevity of the project and gave the development a modern look and feel.

For those who are navigating their way through the issue of recladding due to use of non-compliant or aging facade products, the team at Fairview are dedicated to providing a start-to-finish solution for all recladding projects.
