Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Marquette Place is a historic mixed-use property at 701 Main Street in Downtown Peoria, originally constructed in 1924 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property includes 28 apartments—18 studios, 8 one-bedroom/one-bathroom units, and 2 two-bedroom/one-bathroom units—along with 8 ground-floor retail spaces.
A major renovation was completed in 2017, taking the building down to the studs and replacing or modernizing virtually all major building systems. Retail tenants include Aveanna Healthcare, GFI Digital, and Blue Peak Insurance, with the majority of retail leases extending beyond 2030. Residential tenants pay their own heat and electric through individually controlled mini-split HVAC systems; ownership provides water, sewer, trash, and high-speed internet.
The property is located in Downtown Peoria near major employers, healthcare systems, restaurants, entertainment, and the Peoria Riverfront. A 50% real estate tax reimbursement through December 2031 is also in place through a Tax Increment Financing incentive.

Financial Insights
Estimated NOI and Cap Rate
NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$206,985
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
6.68%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates
Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality.
Typical U.S. stable-market ranges:
Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+)
Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand)
Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically)
Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher)
Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk)
Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5%
Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5%
Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term
Rules of thumb:
Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%).
Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C.
Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI.
Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
