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

[Gronk!]

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...

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.

 

[Kosy123]

With the rezoning to UW, should we be expecting something similar to the previous proposal on this site? Or more of mid-rises?

 

[IanO]

I'd guess 1 or 2 rather large 6 storey buildings covering most of the site with a bit of retail on the corners.

Good news:

The property has been sold and the two-storey Massey-Ferguson showroom building at the south end will be preserved, restored and incorporated into the new student housing development (the rest of the existing building will be demolished). The plans right now are for mid-rise buildings on the site.

Concrete please!

Gotta ask...what's considered mid-rise, story wise?

 

[Kosy123]

That's possibly a few hundred more residential units, 2025 is a good year so far when it comes to mid-rise announcements downtown.

Typically 7-12 call it.

Would be nice to see some modular buildings like Sync111

Possibly 6 - 7 storeys across four buildings for the entire block. Looks like 400 - 600 units total at full build-out. No detailed design yet so these are all ballpark right now.

That would work fine too....
