"In place of" is typically used in the context of something being removed, for example, like in the following:
"What are you going to put in place of the sofa you removed?"
"What are they going to put in place of the building they just knocked down?"
Your three sentences are not right. They should be something like:
"What used to be in this location before they
"What are you going to put in place of the sofa you removed?"
"What are they going to put in place of the building they just knocked down?"
