The old Anderdon Tavern site is slated for a residential transformation by Amherstburg’s NOR-BUILT developments. The currently vacant land just north of the townsite on County Rd. 20 has been empty for many years after the once popular watering hole, formerly a dance hall, was torn down and the property sold. NOR-BUILT’s customer service rep Kelly Mertz said NOR-BUILT is still finalizing plans but there will be an underground garage, “four or five” storey front tower with residential homes in the rear. She didn’t think construction would begin this year, however. NOR-BUILT has all municipal approvals. There was neighbourhood opposition in 2023 but these issues apparently have been resolved. “That’s something we’d have to speak with Norbert (Bolger, the owner) about. I remember him going to the town with the neighbours at one point,” said Mertz. The developer recently erected his sign on the property. NOR-BUILT has yet to decide on a marketing name or what to call the complex. “It’s still up in the air,” Mertz said. NOR-BUILT has constructed several single-family developments but has also completed some multi-unit buildings in Amherstburg. NOR-BUILT is also planning a four storey 12-unit condo downtown across from the Boblo ferry dock and the Brittany’s Gate single luxury homes development just north of Texas Rd.. already under construction. “Dalhousie is still in the works (and) everything’s a go,” said Mertz.
