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 often think I'm not that great at this. I do thank everyone who visits this thread each week. I didn't know so many people read this each week. I actually thought it was just 0-2 at the most.
Due to the weather, we don't have as many photographs this week. I do thank our photographers, again.

Hotel Indigo:
All of the glass is now in place, except for a transom above an entrance on the northwest corner. They still need to install the marble below the ground floor windows.

Still haven't repaired the brick and terracotta:

I don't think Mayfair Street Partners will clean the front facades. I say this because they used darker brick at the top of the new stair tower, to match the dirty brick at the top of the building. I'm guessing they will leave the brick dirty and keep the graffiti and gold leaf window signage for their trendy boutique hotel, to give it a gritty feel? With this building, I do wish they would clean the brick and terracotta.
Courtyard by Marriott - Downtown:
Workers are now constructing the fifth floor on the six storey building. It could top-out in another three weeks?

West End Station Apartments:
This apartment building will open February 1. Yes, the opening is a little more than two weeks from now!
Robert Hall Brewing Company:
This three building project now includes an under construction hotel, with restaurant and an indoor and outdoor event/conference space. The developer purchased a cherry bar Al Capone sat at for drinks and it will be used in the event/conference space. The bar will offer beer from the craft brewery. Plans also include an outdoor movie venue beside the brewery and hotel. The neon signs found inside the former neon factory will be restored and reused throughout the multi-use property. The restaurant may reuse an old neon sign from Salem Restaurant? The neon-themed development sounds awesome!
The craft brewery entrance will be on Ninth Street and the hotel/restaurant entrance will be on Liberty Street. The neighborhood around the brewery & hotel will have public art, bike paths, and streetscape improvements.

Link Apartments 4th Street:
Developer Grubb Properties will offer $15,000 to add public art at Fourth and Spruce streets. This amount can be matched by the city's art commission. They are currently studying the history of this site for the proposed art work.

Progress Rail Test Cell:
Progress Rail will construct an engine testing facility (Test Cell) at their location in the Alliance Science & Technology Park. Progress Rail is moving 600 jobs from Chicago to Winston-Salem as part of this project.
1834 Nissen Wagon Works:
They couldn't save it. Winston Watchman is reporting the building is currently being demolished. The 185 year-old star-shaped smokestack, from the original 1834 building, is still standing.
An historic marker will remain, to tell the site's history:

Kaleideum Science Museum:
The City of Winston-Salem is considering issuing $2 million in bonds to demolish the Liberty Plaza park space and the 1970s Brutalist office space under the park and rebuild it as a more attractive and contemporary park space leading into the new downtown science museum. No word on if the plans still include possible animial exhibits or not? I think they may want to move those indoors and maybe to the roof? We could see additional funding (reports have said an additional $30 million from Forsyth County) by this summer? I guess we shall see?
The Flatiron Restaurant & Bar:
This week, we have a new project to follow, from the same New York and Los Angeles team behind the live music venue at Winston Junction! Los Angeles-based Wade Co., Design, Inc., will design and renovate the building.

It's interesting to see people involved in noteworthy New York City and Los Angeles bars and entertainment venues working on similar projects in Winston-Salem.
Main & Third Parking Deck:
Workers have installed a fence around the 1950s parking deck to be demolished for this project. When the smaller 1950s parking deck is demolished, Frank L. Blum Construction will build a new 8-storey parking deck with ground floor retail at this site. The parking deck will be shared by the Federal Building and the office and retail project about to start construction at 8 West Third.

Oliver Cycling Park:
The City of Winston-Salem is considering issuing $2 million in bonds to buy the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Building and demolish it to "expand" a proposed Walter Hood designed park, at Liberty and Cemetery streets. The conservancy building the park has already acquired and demolished the Salem Iron Works' buildings for this new park. They would like to expand the proposed downtown park and need the city's assistance. Major cycling infrastructure is being constructed through and next to this proposed park. No word on where the U.S. Bankruptcy Court will move to?
