My memory is foggy, but wasn't there some kind of area development plan that included filling in the space between MTC Mainstage and the Playhouse? Was that intended as a new site for the Warehouse?
That said, I'm not sure that the value of the land is so great that it would justify buying the Warehouse as a going concern just to redevelop the land. There are still a good number of other buildings and lots for developers to choose from around there....

MTC wants to replace the Warehouse Theatre by building a new black box theatre on the empty lot east of Pantages. MCCC also wants to get rid of the storage building west of Pump House once the Manitoba Museum expansion happens. These would both pave the way for a massive new outdoor plaza and new music halls.
It's all laid out in the
MCCC Master Plan, page 10.
This was developed as a 15 year plan in 2017, so lots of time to go. That being said, it also called for the new parkade on Rupert to open last year. So with this current government and situation, who knows when any of this will happen.
