I want to thank the photographers and businesses, sharing updates on projects, who make this thread possible. Without you, these updates won't happen.
This project is finally completed and now we wait for the official announcement for the next phase. I've already posted details on the next phase in this thread: http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/show...&postcount=421
Bailey Business Center - Building 23-2: (Bailey Power Plant Complex) Built!
The first of Bailey Power Plant's three phases is now completed. Incendiary Brewing Company is now applying for permits in this building and will open in June or July. Pharmaceutical development company EncepHeal is the newest office tenant announced at Building 23-2. This first phase of the power plant has 111,479 square feet of space and we should hear additional tenant announcements, soon. The second floor is home to Cambridge Innovation Center's Turbine Hall and Venture Cafe, where you will find 15 fully-furnished private offices and 8 suites for startups, as well as a large 6,300 square foot conference center (you can rent this). CML Microsystems, PLC., of London, has already moved their North American headquarters to this building and you will see part of their offices, below. At Bailey Power Plant Building 23-2's grand opening, Preservation NC said downtown Winston-Salem's IQ District is the largest historic redevelopment project in North Carolina and is among the nation's largest historic redevelopments for an Innovation District. Thomas Osha of Baltimore-based Wexford Science + Technology, the developer and owner of the power plant project, said "I’ve been to 11 innovation districts in the past 20 days, and Winston-Salem is being recognized, being talked about. It’s forming alignments and partnerships"
As you know, I love seeing these tech company office spaces! Prepare yourself for a photography grand finale, to celebrate the completion of this project! This is the adaptive-reuse of a former coal-fired power plant, in downtown's IQ District, into tech company office space, Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) space, conference space, and retail/restaurant/entertainment space.
