By 2021 the property was split between several owners including the developer Carlo Stivala, and parts of the building were in a dilapidated state.

In November 2021 it was reported that Stivala submitted an application to the PA to demolish the building and replace it with a 14-storey hotel designed by architect Robert Musumeci.

[4] Following this proposal, the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage,[5] the AD+PD political party[6] and other organisations and individuals including the mayor of St Julian's made numerous calls for preserving the building, citing its historical and architectural importance.

[1] Internally, the residence includes a grand foyer, waffle slab ceilings and a prominent staircase built out of concrete.
