Big things are brewing in Newport 👀 — a 36-acre development plan could completely reshape the area north of Bailey Road.
United Properties and Real Estate Equities are teaming up to bring a mix of new life to the east metro: two industrial buildings totaling nearly 294,000 square feet, a 172-unit apartment complex, and — yes — a new Kwik Trip. 🚗⛽️
The land, currently owned by Bailey Nurseries, marks one of the first major steps in a larger 280-acre redevelopment vision that could stretch across Newport, Maplewood, and Woodbury.
Construction might kick off as soon as summer 2026, adding jobs, housing, and tax revenue to this fast-growing corridor.
💬 What do you think — is this the kind of growth the east metro needs, or do you want to see Newport stay small and quiet?
