Blutowne is a transformative $66 million mixed-use development poised to become the new centerpiece of East Peoria’s Levee District. Strategically located along Washington Street, this project advances a live-work-play vision that integrates luxury residential living with vibrant commercial amenities in one walkable urban community.
Blutowne’s initial phase delivers 219 premium apartments featuring a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts with upscale interiors including stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, in-unit washer/dryer setups, and private balconies that extend living space into panoramic district views. Residential amenities are designed to elevate everyday life with a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style saltwater pool, expansive rooftop sky lounge, pet spa and dog park, co-working spaces, outdoor grilling decks, fire pits, hammock areas, and EV charging stations, all centered around thoughtfully landscaped communal spaces that encourage connection and convenience.
Complementing the residential component are 10,000 square feet of retail and commercial space and a 276-space parking structure, positioning Blutowne as both a neighborhood destination and a catalyst for economic activity in the heart of the Levee District. Its location places future residents and patrons steps from established restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, and regional attractions, contributing to a dynamic, walkable environment within one of East Peoria’s fastest-growing corridors.
The first units became available in fall 2025, with full completion of Phase 1 expected by spring 2026. Looking ahead, Phase 2 of Blutowne will introduce an additional 262 residential units and approximately 12,000 square feet of new commercial space, further expanding the community’s footprint and mixed-use offerings. This second phase is projected to be complete by late 2028, reinforcing the project’s long-term impact on urban growth and placemaking in East Peoria.
