New Commercial Development in Woodbury

Woodbury saw 26,000 square feet of new commercial construction in 2012, up from just 5,000 the year before but well below figures from the mid-2000s.

In 2004 Woodbury had 823,000 square feet of new commercial space, and in 2006 that number was 717,000, according to figures on the city’s website.

Woodbury looks poised for another jump in 2013 and beyond.

A page on the city’s website lists several development projects, including:

Jerry’s Enterprises has already announced plans for a new grocery store at the site of the future urban village at the southwest corner of Radio Drive and Bailey Road. Bielenberg Gardens will feature a variety of housing along with 147,800 square feet of new retail space.

Work is expected to begin this summer on a new Cabela’s, which will span 93,000 square feet, according to the city’s website. It will be built at the southwest intersection of Radio Drive and Interstate 94.

Work continues at the Commerce Hill area, near the SuperTarget off Woodbury Drive.

Plans call for 286,828 square feet of new space, with a new McDonald’s among the highlights. Office development is also planned at the site.
