No matter what buildings or venues it may have, a city is brought to life by the people who reside in it.
The Downtown Development Corporation is excited to be a part of bringing Peoria’s Warehouse District to life. Whether you are a professional, an empty-nester or someone looking to move to an interesting neighborhood, there’s really no place quite like living in a downtown loft home. As the Warehouse District continues to grow, there are more options to choose from than ever before to live, work and play downtown!
The DDC is happy to support the diligent efforts of current and future developers who are creating revitalized, urban living and residential options in Peoria by reinventing its existing warehouse buildings. Below are three of the new developments to choose from that are newly renovated or currently being renovated and actively leasing. They won’t last long. And more developments are in progress, including the Marquette Building Apartments on Main Street and the Persimmon Lofts on Adams Street. All of these properties offer the many unique features that residents are looking for in urban living.
