Market Study for in and near downtown housing

The housing market research firm Tracy Cross presented their assessment of demand for new and rehabbed housing in and near downtown Peoria. The demand for new housing is strong.

"Downtown Peoria and the nearby areas could add nearly 200 living units annually. The demand is there," said Erik Doersching, executive vice president with Tracy Cross & Associates Inc. of Schaumburg, the company that developed the study. There is the potential for 168 new rental units - 102 of those from the redevelopment of buildings already within the Warehouse District into loft apartments. There could be an additional 16 "for sale" condominiums and 10 row or townhomes within the district.

Now would be a good time to start the Heart of Peoria Development Corporation, which would bring equity capital for Heart of Peoria housing development, and spread the risk. More information at:
