Amazon Opens Its Largest Minnesota Delivery Station in Woodbury in 2026
What Just Opened Along Woodbury's I-94 Corridor
Amazon's largest delivery station in Minnesota is now fully operational in Woodbury, marking another major milestone for the city's expanding Interstate 94 business corridor.
The new $60 million facility at 11300 Hudson Road spans approximately 143,000 square feet and officially began operations in April 2026, followed by a public ribbon-cutting ceremony in early May.
The building employs more than 300 workers inside the facility while supporting another 300 delivery drivers operating routes throughout the east metro and western Wisconsin every day.
As a last-mile delivery station, this facility serves as the final processing stop before Amazon packages reach customers' homes.
For Woodbury, this is one of the clearest signs yet that the northeast I-94 corridor is evolving exactly the way city planners envisioned years ago.
How Amazon's Two Woodbury Facilities Work Together
One of the more interesting parts of this expansion is that the new delivery station works directly alongside Amazon's existing sortation center located across the street.
That neighboring facility, known as MSP8, opened in 2022 and spans more than 550,000 square feet. Together, the two buildings now create a logistics hub that handles a huge portion of east metro and western Wisconsin deliveries.
About 80% of the packages arriving at the new delivery station are first sorted at MSP8 before crossing over for final delivery preparation.
Once packages arrive at the delivery station, they move through another several hours of routing and organization before drivers load their vans and head out.
On a normal day, the facility processes around 55,000 packages. During peak holiday seasons, that number can exceed 100,000 packages daily.
Drivers load up approximately every 20 minutes on both sides of the building, with each route carrying hundreds of deliveries throughout the region.
The Facility Was Designed Around Electric Delivery and Automation
Amazon built several newer technologies directly into the Woodbury operation.
Every delivery van operating from the site is fully electric, supporting the company's broader sustainability goals.
The roof was also engineered to support future solar panel installation if Amazon expands renewable energy use at the facility later.
Inside the building, AI-assisted scanning systems help drivers organize and load packages in the most efficient delivery order possible based on their specific routes.
At the end of each shift, drivers pass through an automated 360-degree inspection system that checks tire condition, tread depth, and exterior vehicle damage before vans are parked for charging.
Amazon now operates 15 facilities across Minnesota, including delivery stations in Woodbury, Maple Grove, Eagan, and Centerville.
Why This Matters for Woodbury and the East Metro
For Woodbury residents, projects like this are about more than fast shipping.
Large-scale employers create long-term economic activity that supports surrounding retail, restaurants, housing demand, and future commercial investment.
City leaders have spent years positioning the northeast I-94 corridor for exactly this type of light-industrial and logistics growth, and Amazon's continued expansion validates that strategy.
The facility's location also creates access to workers from both the east metro and western Wisconsin, making Woodbury increasingly attractive for future employers looking at regional transportation access.
Amazon also noted that Minnesota-based small businesses sold approximately 55 million products through the platform last year, averaging roughly $400,000 in annual sales revenue per seller.
Infrastructure investments like this support that broader ecosystem directly.
For buyers and homeowners watching the east metro market, continued commercial investment is another sign that Woodbury's long-term growth story remains very strong.
