A House for the West Side

Downtown's been here since 1886. It was due a porch.

Jefferson House is a partnership between the people behind The Churchill in downtown Phoenix and Peoria's own Banquet hospitality group — built hand-in-hand with the City of Peoria as part of its investment in the historic Downtown core.

The bones tell the neighborhood's story: shipping containers nod to the 1895 railway that put Peoria on the map, and the black-steel canopy tips its hat to the ironworks that stood here before us. Under it all — three chef-run kitchens, six retail and eatery spots, one good bar, a live stage, a splash pad for the kids, and seats for three hundred of our closest friends. Heaters, fans and misters keep the courtyard good all year. This is desert living, after all.

What's Inside

Eat

3 Chef-Run Kitchens

Three independent kitchens run by local chefs who do their own thing. No chains, no franchises — just real food from people who love making it.

Drink

Courtyard Bar

A bar in the middle of it all. Grab something cold, find a seat under the canopy, see what happens. That's the whole idea.

Shop

6 Retail & Eatery Spots

Makers, vintage collectors, small-batch creators and quick bites — things you won't find at a big box store, sold by the people who made them.

Gather

Live Stage + Splash Pad

Live music on the stage, kids on the splash pad, markets in the courtyard. Built for whatever brings the West Side together.

The Lay of the Land

Find your spot.

One city block at Jefferson & 83rd, straight from the architect's plan. Suite availability is live from our leasing desk — copper means open, dashed means a lease is pending, gray means it's gone.
