Car Condo Construction in Andover, MN

Orton Companies builds private auto storage and car condominiums in Andover. Tall doors, clean spans, and a finished room for the cars — not a leftover shed.

Andover collectors usually outgrew the garage years ago. We design the bays around the cars you have and the ones you will buy: door height, turning, security, and a winter envelope that keeps the collection dry. Multi-bay buildings for clubs and private warehouses for a single owner are the same craft — one crew from the drawing to the last door.

Andover is thirty minutes from the yard and one of the better Anoka County fits for a real shop. Lots are often large enough to take a building that is useful, not just ornamental.

We still check city rules. Andover is not Big Lake Township. Height, setbacks, and use decide whether you get a 40-foot shop or a smaller garage. We would rather draw the building that will be approved.

Larger Andover lots are a good canvas for private auto storage if height clears the city.

What Andover sites usually need

Andover still has larger residential lots than inner-ring suburbs. That is why shops and modest pole barns still happen here. City accessory rules still apply — this is not township acreage just because the lot is an acre.

Typical Andover projects

  • Hobby shops on larger residential lots
  • Oversized garages and storage barns
  • Vehicle and recreation storage
  • Select commercial shops
