Adaptive Reuse in Great Falls, MT at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Great Falls

Building History

The Agri-Village Shopping Center was built in 1967, originally occupied by a Valu-Mart Discount Retail Store. In 1973, the area added more businesses, including a gas station, automotive store, drugstore, insurance group, supermarket, barber shop, and men's and women's clothing stores. The building became the Valu-Mart Shopping Center and throughout the years a number of stores and a restaurant were added. The shopping center was well-known to Great Falls residents, and when U-Haul acquired the building in 2018, it had been abandoned for some time due to it being deemed unsafe for occupancy in 2017.

The U-Haul Moving & Storage of Great Falls was previously the Agri-Village Shopping Center. 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.
