I would suggest we move this to the Data Assets once you got a download on it.
So - these are neutral buildings which can be approached by any player to buy these units?
Good stuff. I never tried this kinda thing, but I heard it's somewhat sophisticated.
Shockingly it wasn't, I took the Tower Capture ability that the Xel'naga towers use, changed the flags to have a "Share Control" bit, then boom, works whenever you approach.
I haven't tested it in a multiplayer environment, but I assume that (like the towers) the control will change according to seniority and units present.
The hardest part is just balancing the units to be fair.
And yes I intend to upload this to data assets for people to use appropriately. Sadly with my video card on the fritz it could be a few days before I can get ahold of it to release it. So until then all I can really do is discuss it.

All information and work has been moved to that page, first download is up (albeit buggy) for those interested in seeing the work so far.

Created Asset Page and first Download, all discussion preferred to be moved there.
Added some minor screenshots to the Merc Haven pages on the main page =P just hit the link to the individual ones.
I'll upload some full ones of them in action here in a few.
