What do you think of the landmark ancient building "Delian Apartment" in Shanghai being auctioned for 560 million yuan?

Linde Apartment is an 87-year-old landmark building located at No.71Sichuan North Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai. It was once rated as an excellent building and a historical protection building in Shanghai. Recently, the news that the building was auctioned has aroused widespread concern. It is reported that the starting price of the first judicial auction of Linde apartment was 560 million pounds, but it ended in failure. More than a month later, Linde apartment was auctioned again and finally sold at a price of 504 million yuan.

There are many different views on this incident. On the one hand, some people think that this is a kind of destruction of historical buildings, because these buildings are our cultural heritage and should be better protected and utilized instead of being traded as commodities. On the other hand, some people think that this is market behavior. As long as the transaction is legal and can bring tangible benefits to the buyers, then this behavior should be accepted.

Generally speaking, the auction of apartments near Germany has triggered a discussion on the protection of historic buildings and market behavior. No matter what kind of viewpoint, it reflects people's concern about the urban cultural heritage and the real estate market. This is also a factor that we need to consider comprehensively when facing similar problems.
