Projects & Construction:
We have a BIG update this week!

Hotel Indigo:
It's rare to find any photographs of the construction at this hotel. Thankfully, Hotel Indigo was on the Veterans Day Parade route, so it's in the background of a few parade photographs. Workers should be finished with the demolition and ready to start actual construction.

Second Street Park:
The park site was the site of the first public waterworks system in the American Colonies in 1778. It tapped into natural springs and used bored logs that were joined together and buried under-ground to deliver the water to Salem. George Washington stopped by the waterworks during a visit to the area in 1791. That history will be honored in the park with a colorful pathway denoting the waterworks along with log decorations.

Bailey Business Center - Building 23-2: (Bailey Power Plant Complex)
Someone who works at WFIQ said a company that performs pharmaceutical clinical trials could be relocating to Winston-Salem and leasing office space in Bailey Power Plant's Bailey Business Center (Building 23-2). No real details at this time. Could this be the anchor tenant for the power plant project?

Downtown Hampton Inn & Suites:
We have an aerial view of the hotel construction site, showing the new wall between the parking deck and hotel. I enlarged this, so please excuse the poor quality. The photograph is from yesterday, so it is recent.

Bookmarks Headquarters & Downtown Bookstore:
We finally have a rendering and the name of the store part of the project. The retail space will be called Bookmarks Bookstore & Cafe. Since we are reporting on the entire project, I won't change the name on the first post. This is more than just an independent bookstore. This project also includes office space for the bookmarks organization and meeting/event space to bring authors to the building. Fulk Architecture Studio in Brooklyn, New York is the architect for this project.

U.S. Olympic Cycling Training Center:
Several changes to report on this project. The Women's National Association of Cycling will move their headquarters to this building. I'm not sure if this is part of USA Cycling or the WCA? The proposed apartments, on the top floor, will be replaced with office space for startup companies. The brewery is replaced with a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Clinic that will become a model for other U.S. Olympic Training Centers, in all sports, and it will be open to the public. The health food restaurant is still proposed for Liberty Street. I'm moving the opening date, on our first post list, to Late 2017.

New Headquarters:
RAI Trade Marketing Services is downtown Winston-Salem's newest corporate headquarters. The company will handle sales, distribution, and retail strategy for RAI. Mike Auger, president of RAI TMS, said the subsidiary will create a single point of contact for business partners and offer valuable guidance on business growth to retail partners.

NoTra Mixed-use Building:
We haven't seen an update on this office buliding/condo/retail project in a long time! We can see the steel frame rising in this photograph, below.

Did NoTra top-out? It appears topped-out?

I know there are many creative people here and we would love to see you submit a proposal! Maybe you know an artist who would be interested and can share this information with them? It's a great opportunity to make a large piece of public art in a sizable city and get paid for it.

Alternative Transportation:

Rails-to-Trails Bicycle Commuter Highway: (Winston-Salem's High Line)
An update on the cycling, walking, and future Light Rail (LRT) in an elevated park, that was once used for elevated freight rail lines. We don't see many updates on this project. TWC seems to provide most of the best updates.

Quote:

The protesters chanted a variety of slogans such as “black lives matter,” “Hispanic lives matter,” “trans lives matter,” “Muslim lives matter” and “love Trumps hate.”

As they walked on the sidewalks on Main and Fourth streets, the protesters’ voices reverberated off the downtown buildings. They chanted “We reject the president-elect,” “immigrants’ lives matter” and “refugees’ lives matter.”

Winston-Salem's election protests were reported internationally and continued for several nights.
