Golden Mile Complex's redevelopment may provide blueprint for conservation of other modernist icons

Redevelopment of the Beach Road property, which is the only strata-titled building gazetted for conservation so far, could pave the way for a rethink on the collective sale redevelopment model for other privately owned, strata-titled buildings.
