The sale of the Sirius building in Sydney has sparked outrage, as it was deemed to be a bargain at $3 million per apartment, while also leading to the eviction of low-income tenants. Critics argue that the sale will only provide a drop in the ocean for public housing needs and that the government should prioritize affordable housing for all generations. The building’s architectural significance as an example of Sydney brutalism has also been highlighted, emphasizing the importance of preserving and repurposing existing structures for sustainability and historical preservation.
