785 20th Street sits along Highway 61 in southern Washington County — two minutes off the highway, with the full Twin Cities market a short drive in every direction. The kind of location where service-business operators run their entire route from one home base.
The building sits on the corner of 20th Street and 8th Avenue in Newport's established industrial business district — a working corridor of warehouses, distribution facilities, contractor yards, and light manufacturing. Two-bridge access connects Newport directly to Inver Grove Heights and the West Metro across the Mississippi.
Trade and service operators particularly like the location: every major East Metro submarket — Woodbury, Cottage Grove, downtown St. Paul, South St. Paul, Stillwater — is inside 25 minutes from the front door, and I-494 + I-94 give you the whole metro plus interstate access east and west.
Newport is a small Mississippi River city of about 4,000 people in Washington County, on the south edge of the Twin Cities metro. Industrial operations have anchored the 20th Street / Maxwell Avenue corridor for decades — trucking, distribution, fabrication, and trade businesses.
Newport's combination of Highway 61 frontage, direct I-494 connectivity, and the Wakota Bridge to the West Metro puts it in a rare position: closer to MSP Airport (20 min) than most "near suburbs," and operationally central to the entire East Metro market.
The neighborhood around 785 20th Street is purpose-built industrial. Twin Cities Logistics is directly adjacent. Across the rail, the Newport industrial park hosts trucking, manufacturing, and service operations. It's a working district — which keeps lease rates honest and operating overhead lower than polished business parks in Woodbury or Eagan.
The fastest way to know if Newport's the right fit is to walk the building in person.
