The Uniting Church has been criticised for its deal with Leighton Properties for the development of a site in Lonsdale Street in central Melbourne. The Princess Mary Club will be demolished for the construction of an office tower. The heritage-listed building was erected in 1926 funded by philanthropic donations. The deal also involves the revamp of the Wesley Church and surrounding buildings
