Amherstburg council has cleared a key hurdle for a proposed four-storey apartment building on Wolfe Street.

Council approved a heritage alteration permit Monday night for the vacant property at 261 Wolfe St., which is located within the town’s heritage conservation district.

A report to council said the project’s design meets heritage guidelines and follows best practices for infill development.

The number of residential units has not been confirmed.

The design was previously revised to better align with nearby buildings. Changes include added stonework, lighter colours, and window and roofline details that reflect the surrounding area.
