The company that owns the soon-to-be-shuttered Crown Royal plant in Amherstburg has put the property up for sale.
According to a listing on Realtor.ca, the 70.4-acre property, located at 110 St. Arnaud Street, was put up for sale earlier this week.
The square footage is 446,970 square feet. The annual property taxes are $310,548.64.
The listing also touts direct rail access and ample space for trailer parking.
Diageo, a British company with its Canadian headquarters in Toronto, announced that it would close the Amherstburg plant in February 2026, citing what it believed was a need to improve supply chain efficiency.
The closure announcement brought strong opposition from Unifor Local 200, which represents the 170 employees affected.
It also brought pushback from Premier Doug Ford, who famously poured out a bottle of Crown Royal whiskey during a news conference to express his anger at the announcement.
Ford said in October that three unnamed companies had expressed interest in buying the property and keeping it open.
Amherstburg Mayor Michael Prue told WindsorNewsToday.ca in mid-October that there was one company that was seriously interested in taking over the plant.
"We have met with them. We have shown them the site. We have introduced them to provincial officials. We have introduced them, through the Premier's office, to Invest Ontario. We have done everything we can, and they're very, very interested in coming," said Prue.
