This is the latest on the long proposed center city park and mixed-use devlopment for downtown Winston-Salem.  Finally, i developer is chosen.  I was hoping to see renderings today but looks like it could be between 2 and 4 months.  Anyway, this will be a big step towards turning downtown around.  $100 - $150 mil, 500-700 residents and 3.2 acres are nice numbers.

Yes!!! I am excited about this. Hopefully a new tallest is on the way!

Sounds good. Downtown Winston-Salem has such great potential. I believe in the next  several years some of that potential will be realized, and downtown Winston-Salem will be transformed into a lively, attractive area.

Is there any additional information on their proposal - architects involved, strategy for the Pepper Bldg and Courthouse, etc?  I googled the developer and went to dwsp.org but was unable to find any substantive information on the developer's proposal.

i tried to find the developer also but couldnt find a website or anything.  DWSP hasnt updated the project's website since July, but we should see something soon.

website:
fourthstreetwinston.com

they do provide detailed information on the project...even down to describing what the tower should look like.  Download the SOI.

This looks like a wonderful project for Winston. It kinda parallels with Center Pointe and the center-city park in Greensboro.

I love the design. any idea when construction will start?

Wow! That looks so spectacular and grand! Can't wait to see that go up!

[suburban george3]

This will certainly add to the density of downtown W-S.  It looks really good to boot!  All along with 20K sqft of retail!  

[DCMetroRaleigh]

Get out of town! That rendering is off the rocket. This is incredible news.  Construction can't start soon enough.

no word on construction yet.  updates have been few and far between.

[Beany]

that looks really cool!

[don julio]

I saw they started demolition of the old buildings today to make way for the Civic Plaza and One Park Vista.  Good times.

[yadkinv]

WOW!  It's about time W-S gets a classy building like that, and 20 stories (my personal subjective number for a skyscraper).

[DCMetroRaleigh]

any pics of the demolition? has there been a press release?

I'll try to get to downtown today and get some pictures if possible.

[krazeeboi]

I REALLY hope that gets built. Awesome.

[DCMetroRaleigh]

DA, did you get out there and take any pics?

Don Julio, where were they starting the demolition? I drove by tonight and there is no demo from what I could/can see. All there was was some gates blocking off access to the buildings on Fourth and that's it.
