Projects & Construction:
I want to thank the photographers and local businesses, sharing updates on projects, who make this thread possible. Without you, these updates won't happen. I don't make any money from this and these updates are to share, with both locals and out-of-towners, what is happening in the city they love. Many people reading this are far-away and this allows them to see the projects. If you can, please support any local businesses or follow social pages sharing photographs and thank them.
We have several great updates this week! Including an update on the airport terminal historic restoration project! And the work at downtown's Innovation Quarter! We also add a proposed office building to our list in this week's update! Lets get updated!

Cloverdale Surgery Center:
I tried and tried to find photographs of this construction project and the 9-storey building under construction behind it, but couldn't find anything newer than June! I did find the architect for the surgery center: Renz Collaborative Architecture.
The Grounds Office Building:
This is the 100,000-square-foot office building I reported-on a week ago. Nelson Worldwide is the architect and Carter/Front Street Capital are the developers. Wake Forest University will be the tenant, as part of their effort to move administrative offices off-campus and use those Reynolda Campus spaces for other uses. So, this 4-storey office building is fully leased and ready-to-go.

The Grounds:
Construction will start in December 2024 on Phase I (40,000-square-feet of retail/restaurant space, 20 condominiums, and 100,000-square-feet of office space), with completion set for Summer 2026. A 240 unit apartment development will start in Summer 2025, with completion set for Summer 2027. Some reports are saying a hotel is still planned. I'm "guessing" in a future phase?
I guess they will fill all of the parking lots? According to WFMY 2, total investment could reach $1 billion+ when all phases are completed:

Winston Lake Park Renovations:
Remember on December 11, 2023, when I reported on tree removal at Winston Lake Golf Course? Yes, last year! It appears as if they are just starting? They are restoring the Ellis Maples-designed course to how it originally looked and played.

Safe Streets & Roads for All:
The City of Winston-Salem has received a $280,000 Safe Streets and Roads for All grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. These grants are used to "prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries." In Winston-Salem, the grant will be used to create a comprehensive safety action plan for the city. The official project name is Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Equity and Increasing Street and Roadway Safety for Winston-Salem, North Carolina's Most Vulnerable.
Smith Reynolds Airport Restoration:
We haven't seen an update on this historic restoration project in a long time!
This is why downtown Winston-Salem has a height limit (Airport Overlay):
