Klassen Professional Building

Located on a prominent downtown corner in Saint James, Minnesota — the county seat of Watonwan County — this property enjoys strong visibility on one of the city's main routes, surrounded by professional offices, service businesses, and local retailers. The address benefits from steady daily traffic generated by the Watonwan County Courthouse, City of Saint James offices, and the surrounding professional services cluster — exactly the traffic that supports client-facing tenants. Easy in-and-out access, a new commercial parking lot behind the building, and a dedicated side parking lot for the upper level give both tenants and customers something most downtown buildings can't offer. Saint James has a stable population of approximately 4,700, with an average household income of roughly $84,000. Major area employers include Smithfield Foods (576 employees), ISD #840 (250), Watonwan County (160), Good Samaritan Society (120), and Mayo Clinic Health System (105), supporting a consistent daytime population and durable demand for local professional services. The city is served by U.S. Highway 60 — the primary east-west corridor connecting Mankato to the east with Worthington and I-90 to the west — plus State Highway 4 running north-south. The property sits roughly 45 minutes from Mankato's regional retail and medical hubs and approximately two hours from the Twin Cities metro.Two-story split-level brick commercial building for sale on a prominent downtown intersection in St. James, MN, offering excellent visibility and corner exposure on one of the city's main routes.
