Peoria, Illinois
Peoria County publishes the owner, assessed value and recent sale price of every parcel on a public GIS layer, so the owner of nearly any building in Peoria can be read without an account, though the county's data licence forbids redistributing the rows.
10 buildings · 9 with an owner established · 16 sources · 3 tier B · 7 tier A · prepared 2026-11-03
Illinois records title by deed with the county recorder; in Peoria County that is the County Clerk, whose EagleWeb index can be searched from 1987 onward. There is no state title register. The Supervisor of Assessments keeps the roll. The county's public GIS parcel layer shows each parcel's owner, mailing address, assessed land and building values, acreage and, for sales since 2021, the price and date. A free Property Tax Inquiry site searches the same roll by parcel, owner or address. The county's GIS licence allows internal use only and bars redistribution, so we quote single facts and never republish rows.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

| Peoria International Airport 6100 W Everett M Dirksen Pkwy, Peoria |
Civic | Metropolitan Airport Authority of Peoria Roll: the airfield parcel 1722100001, METROPOLITAN AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF PEORIA, is 410.6 acres and exempt. The Authority holds 234 parcels and 2,626 acres county-wide. The airfield's tax code (326) is not a City of Peoria code, and the county's corporate-limits layer (s15) returns no municipality at the parcel's centre. So the airport sits outside the city's taxing limits, and only 16 Authority parcels (138 acres) are inside the city. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Peoria's highest-assessed ground is not downtown. It is two north-side apartment complexes owned by a Michigan apartment builder-landlord, followed by the downtown Marriott hotels. Illinois rolls show assessed value, not market value, and the hospitals, the Civic Center and the university are exempt, so their land carries little or no value on the roll. The City's 48,383 parcels carry $3.13B of assessed value in all.
Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Public bodies own the most ground in Peoria. Far the largest holder is the Peoria Park District, titled as 'Pleasure Driveway & Park District', with over 4,000 acres. The City, School District 150, the sanitary district and the Public Building Commission follow. The Housing Authority and the county's tax-delinquency trustee are among the biggest holders by parcel count. Two hospital systems and Bradley University hold the medical and campus districts. Figures are parcels in the owner's name on the county roll whose tax code is a City of Peoria code (48,383 parcels, 25,418 acres), assessed values as of Nov 2026. Exempt parcels carry little or no assessed value.

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
New-house building in Peoria is slow and local: roughly 27 to 80 parcels a year carry a 2015-2025 year built, mostly in the northern subdivisions. No league table ranks Peoria builders, so the builders below are companies holding parcels in their own names on the county roll, which measures inventory rather than starts. Single-family rentals are a larger layer. SFR3 entities (San Francisco) hold 207 houses, and local companies hold scattered rentals: Consolidated Properties LLC (184 parcels), Erickson Capital Investments LLC (74), B Cubed Investments LLC (64) and Holloway Holdings LLC (56). OKPARA LP entities (c/o PCCEO) hold 135 affordable-housing parcels.

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
No REIT dominates Peoria. The largest taxable holdings are apartment portfolios owned from outside Illinois and two local health systems' office land. A Bloomfield Hills, Michigan apartment group holds the most valuable taxable parcel in the city. Retail is held by single-asset LLCs, and the two malls' owners have not sold since 2021. Assessed value (land plus building) is from the county roll inside City of Peoria tax codes, Nov 2026. Office-tower ownership downtown is scattered among small LLCs.

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- Recording fee amounts: the County Clerk's 'Predictable Fees - effective February 1, 2026' schedule is a PDF hosted on acrobat.adobe.com, which we did not open, so no dollar figure is given.
- Illinois assesses non-farm property at one-third of market value, so a market figure would be about three times the assessed values shown. That is not stated on any page we opened, so values are left as assessed.
- Northwoods Mall: Wikipedia names Kohan Retail Investment Group / Summit Properties USA as owner, but the roll's main parcels are titled to Nickels and Dimes Inc. We did not establish whether a lease or a sale explains the difference, and no sale is on the roll since 2021.
- 124 SW Adams St (parcel 1809260019, 124 Adams Property Holdings LLC, $7,764,130, the third-highest assessed parcel) is a major downtown building. We opened no source naming it or its occupant.
- Methodist/Proctor hospital parcels remain in Methodist Services Inc and Methodist Medical Center of Illinois names after Carle Health's 2023 purchase (s13). Whether these entities are now Carle subsidiaries was not checked in a filing.
- The roll's sale fields cover January 2021 to July 2026 only. Earlier prices for marquee buildings, such as the 2018 $38.4M Pere Marquette sale reported by WCBU, are not on the layer.
- Residential builders: no starts or permits by builder were found, and the builders' figures are roll holdings, not homes built.
