An MCM in the So Cal desert is slated for demolition. Probably unavoidable as I can't image anyone with the money to restore it would want to live out there. The "Hilltop House" in Apple Valley.

"On the subject of tower blocks, streets in the sky, etc, I suppose soon we'll be able to add the Aylesbury and Heygate estates to this thread. So far I think only one of the buildings has been demolished."

I remember the Heygate Estate - it was popular with photographers and film-makers. I remember the final gun battle in a film called The Veteran was shot there. It felt odd because the estate was often portrayed as a drug-ridden hellhole, but the few times I visited there was almost nobody about and it was actually quite pretty because it was being reclaimed by nature.

At least it's now still buildings, although they aren't finished and I imagine they aren't cheap:

Top Gear (or whatever the new one is called) did a show that featured that Detroit garage - it was an early 20th century theater that became a concert hall that became a garage IIRC.

I did whippets behind this one in San Francisco:

"In addition to the main sanctuary building locally known as The Egg, there are a trio of additional buildings on the First Christian Church campus, all designed by Conner & Pojezny."
