In 2007, United Industrial Corporation, under a collective sale, bought the 21.2 per cent of the UIC Building that it did not already own in order for a redevelopment.
In 2012, during demolition works of the building, part of the building gave way and collapsed, causing injuries to a worker.[4]
Demolition work had been completed in 2013.[5] A new development by United Industrial Corporation which includes a mix of residential and commercial units known as V on Shenton (Five on Shenton) was started on its former site and was completed in 2017.
