Eagles On Blondeau

Downtown Keokuk is rich in history, which is reflected in the tastefully preserved designs of what was initially a trading post and settlement grounds in the 1800s. The tri-county area is situated in an advantageous geographic location between the Des Moines and Mississippi rivers and provides easy access between Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. Today, Keokuk is known for its robust manufacturing industry in part due to its hydroelectric power plant, which is the largest privately owned and operated dam and hydroelectric generating plant on the Mississippi River. Due to its recent induction into the list of national Opportunity Zones, a spur of redevelopments have begun to revitalize this historic town.This historically significant property initially housed by the Fraternal Order of the Eagles was able to maintain its historic elements while adding a multitude of modern elements of both style and practicality. With a total reinvestment of nearly $3 million, the notable redevelopment project spearheaded in 2012 features unique amenities rarely found in buildings of such an age. Both locals of Southeast Iowa in addition to investors from across the nation would see different aspects of value in this notable project. As a fully renovated up-to-code project, the improvements anyone would likely seek to make would be easy to calculate as opposed to the unpredictable costs associated with most mixed-use properties on the market today.
