Flint Energy Services was a steel fabricating and oil field service company that serviced throughout Canada. The 1901 Highway Avenue property includes 8.37 acres (3.4 hectares) and is developed with five buildings that were commissioned by Flint Energy Services. Upon U-Haul's acquisition of the buildings in 2016, the site had been vacant. 

Adaptive reuse building conversions allow U-Haul to promote infill development to meet citizens’ needs while preserving the natural resources and land normally required for new construction. Adaptive reuse also allows resources to be focused on integrating environmentally thoughtful features into the existing building rather than creating waste in the form of demolition and using valuable resources for new construction. 

Serving U-Haul customers since 2016, this facility was built through adaptive reuse of an abandoned building. Adaptive reuse promotes infill development in an effort to strengthen communities, with the following benefits achieved at this site: 

• 1,177 tonnes of metal manufacturing & transportation prevented 
• 2,275 tonnes of new concrete pours avoided 
• 3,452 tonnes of construction and demolition debris prevented 

Energy-efficiency and waste-reduction programs at this facility provide the following estimated benefits each year for the Redcliff community: 

• 2,794,295 kgs greenhouse gas emissions prevented 

• 

  Steel Production 1,297 tons (1,177 tonnes) of steel manufacturing and delivery saved to date
