It sure does. I don't think a mid-rise on this property will be very economical though. Hopefully they build towers, and go very light on parking, since it's next to LRT and the University. Spend the savings on hiring their neighbourhood architects (Dub).

I'm giving them that advice for free.

They are going to have to up their game if they want to come to the big city.

Some photographs of the current state of the building and the garage. This building clearly deserves better than it's gotten.

Seriously could have been something uber cool over the last 10 years... indoor/outdoor market, club, beer garden, something very Berlin or Portland.... and here's hoping the south building could be salvaged and incorporated, but I am not holding my breath.

I personally would love to see more clubs and nightlife venues in the downtown.

Ok, sorry to revive a thread with no new info. I hate when people do that because it gets your hopes up for nothing. But I walked by a Massey Ferguson on my walk the other day. Lol I can’t be the only one that didn’t know it is a brand?

I think this building is almost ready to be demolished unless there's still some heritage protection around it.

I realize Edmonton these days hates or at best is indifferent to older buildings, but it would be nice if we could keep the existing old warehouse buildings in the Warehouse District and not tear them down.

Lets not have more demolition by neglect.

Moreover, let's not have more gravel parking lots after demolition (looking at you, Arlington).

This site was/is for sale. Anyone know if it was sold?

It was bought by a group out of Deutschland. A few pages back......

EDIT* - NM - what was the property bought by that German group? It was the Massey Ferguson site?

YUP! Massey Ferguson site was sold...

Massey Ferguson Building Redevelopment | ?m | 48s | Rise Real Estate | WZMH

Monsieur le @Gronk! is onto something once again -- if it is in fact 75,000 sq. ft. (150' x 500') then it would be just the area shaded in light orange below, not including the Massey Ferguson property

Gronk is showing the "Healy Ford" site rather than the Massey site in his pic

There is movement on this and the entire site is being rezoned from DC1 to UW:

Address: 10609 - 104 AVENUE NW
10616 - 103 AVENUE NW
Planner Description: This application proposes to rezone this subject site from a Direct Development Control Provision (DC1.17377) to the Urban Warehouse Zone (UW) to allow for a mix of uses in a human-scaled built form that builds on the existing land use pattern and respects the architectural characteristics and functions of the area. This application also proposes to amend the UW Zone to remove a regulation that limits density to 500 dwellings/hectare.
Status: In Review
File Number: LDA25-0166

This is good. UW is somewhat restrictive on material usage, architectural style. Any limitations on density in the warehouse district should be dropped. The economics are a bigger limiting factor than the zoning restrictions.

The original DC zoning from 2014 mandates the preservation of the building's facade, so we should worry less than we have been.
