Peoria developer Kim Blickenstaff listed a trove of his most recognizable Peoria-area properties for sale in a move that left community members and leaders asking this question: What's next for the properties?

Leaders from Peoria, Peoria Heights and Spring Bay — the places where Blickenstaff left the largest footprint — have debated his legacy and what it means to the area now that he has shrunk that footprint.

Here's what we know about Blickenstaff's listed properties and other projects he had planned for the Peoria area.

1. Scottish Rite Theatre

The Scottish Rite Theatre, originally listed for $8.5 million, now stakes the claim to being Blickenstaff's most expensive property on the market.

Blickenstaff bought the 800-seat theater in 2019 and he quickly moved forward with a $5 million restoration that saw it returned to its original glory.

In March 1, 2024, the theater was listed as "under contract." But in May 2024, it was again put on the market, this time for $6.8 million.

2. Sankoty Lakes Resort

This "glamping" resort was billed as the "largest development" in the history of the village of Spring Bay when Blickenstaff began developing it from a gravel pit in 2019.

Sankoty Lakes was originally listed by Blickenstaff for $10.9 million but can now be bought for $6.5 million.

Embroiled in an ugly lawsuit, Sankoty Lakes faces an uncertain future in Spring Bay, yet local leaders and community members are still hopeful it will be purchased and reopened.

3. Spurck Mansion

Located prominently at 1509 N. Knoxville Ave., this once-grand 8,750-square-foot mansion was purchased by Blickenstaff in 2020 for $130,000.

Now, it can be bought from Blickenstaff for $300,000.

The Spurck Mansion was most recently active as the Koinonia House in 2011. It sustained fire damage in 2019.

There is hope among Peoria officials that whoever buys the building will choose to restore it rather than tear it down.

4. Betty Jayne Brimmer Center for the Performing Arts

Named after Blickenstaff's mother, this former location of the Peoria Heights Library was purchased by Blickenstaff in 2019 and was converted into a concert and performing arts venue.

Cafe Santa Rosa, a cafe formerly located in Junction City Shopping Center, opened in the space in fall 2023. The property was sold by Betty Jayne Group LLC to Marhes Enterprises LLC for $1.7 million.

5. Peoria Armory building

Built in 1924 for the National Guard, this now-vacant building used to play host to Bradley University basketball games, among other sporting events.

The armory building, located at 523 NE Adams St., just outside of downtown Peoria, is listed for $599,000.

Blickenstaff purchased the building in 2019 and announced bold plans to turn it into a combined commercial and sporting facility, a project estimated to cost millions. The project never came to fruition, however, and the building still sits empty and without a roof.

6. Save a Lot grocery

Blickenstaff is also the owner, and now seller, of the Save a Lot grocery store on Prospect Road in Peoria Heights.

The building is being sold for $1.5 million.

7. Pabst building

An iconic piece of Peoria Heights history, Blickenstaff purchased the old Pabst brewery building in 2019 for just over $4 million.

He converted it into a multipurpose commercial building that now plays host to a Pabst Blue Ribbon themed bar.

An online listing for the Pabst Building advertises three different office suite spaces available for lease within the building. They range from 6,400 square feet to 1,345 square feet.

It was the headquarters of Blickenstaff's KDB Group in Peoria Heights.

8. Al Fresco Park

Blickenstaff made an agreement with the village of Peoria Heights to turn this former mid-1900s amusement park into an outdoor recreation area along Peoria's river bluff. The plans never materialized.

There is no sale listing for the property at 4600 Galena Road.

9. Grayboy Lofts

Located at 4426 N. Prospect Road in Peoria Heights, the former site of the Grayboy Motorsports shop was supposed to become a luxury apartment complex developed by Blickenstaff.

Blickenstaff had the old store torn down to begin construction but the project never moved forward. Now, a vacant lot sits where the apartments were supposed to be built.

The Grayboy site was sold in June to Trefzger's Bakery, who plan on turning it into a parking lot. The property sold for $450,000 after originally being listed for $650,000.

10. Peoria Heights Hotel (The Atrium)

Blickenstaff had plans to build a 57-room, four-story hotel in the heart of Peoria Heights encompassing the building located at 4615 and 4617 N. Prospect Road.

It was set to be a $20 million project with a projected construction timeline of 16-18 months beginning after its approval by the Peoria Heights Village Board in summer of 2020.

The project never came to fruition, even though contractors and architects were hired. The building is not listed for sale. It is currently under construction.

11. Peoria Heights pump house

The former home of Peoria Popcorn Works is owned by the village of Peoria Heights but leased to Blickenstaff's KDB Group.

Built in 1934, the building was rehabbed to house the Popcorn Works store, which only survived in business for 11 months before closing.

In July, Peoria Heights terminated KDB's lease at the pump house over unpaid taxes.

The Peoria Heights Village Board heard proposals for the property in February 2024 that include a commercial kitchen, cafe and office spaces.

12. Hale Memorial Church site

What was once the site of Hale Memorial Church in Peoria is now in the hands of the city of Peoria.

Hale Memorial Church was torn down in 2022. KDB group had promised to construct a park at the site.

KDB Group agreed to donate the site to the city of Peoria.

13. Peoria Heights Quonset Hut

Roof Tiger bought this unique building in Peoria Heights from KDB Group in December 2023. Roof Tiger will use the building for storage and marketing.

KDB Group bought the building in 2019 and planned to make it a replica of Bradley University's old Robertson Memorial Field House.

Those plans never materialized and the building sat vacant for four years.
