Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present this government office located at 2001 NE Jefferson Avenue, Peoria, Illinois. This office building was constructed in 1950 and consists of approximately 22,000 square feet situated on a 0.46-acre site. This government office is 100 percent occupied by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services under a gross lease structure featuring two percent annual rent escalations and one remaining five-year renewal option. The lease is backed by a state agency with a Fitch credit rating of “A-,” and approximately 4.5 years remain on the current lease term. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services maintains a strong regional presence, providing essential child welfare and family support services across Central Illinois. The agency operates multiple locations in the market, including offices supporting both administrative oversight and field casework. Its core responsibilities include investigating allegations of child abuse or neglect, administering foster care and adoption services, and connecting families with critical support resources such as counseling, childcare assistance, and broader social services. As part of a statewide system, DCFS plays a central role in protecting children and strengthening family stability. The property is located on Jefferson Avenue, a key arterial corridor that feeds directly into the region’s broader highway network and connectivity to major transportation routes, including Interstate 74, a primary east–west highway linking Peoria with regional markets such as Bloomington-Normal and the Quad Cities. Jefferson Avenue is also one of the most active commercial and civic corridors in the city, surrounded by several major amenities. The Peoria County Courthouse anchors the corridor with consistent daily foot traffic tied to legal and administrative activity. The Peoria Civic Center serves as a major regional destination for conventions, concerts, and sporting events, with direct access and supporting parking infrastructure along Jefferson. The street also borders the Fulton Plaza and Warehouse District areas, which have seen ongoing revitalization with restaurants, entertainment venues, and mixed-use development. In addition, the corridor benefits from a mix of on-street parking, structured parking facilities, and event-oriented lots, supporting both everyday business activity and large-scale regional events.
