Bailey Power Plant:
A local architect has photographs of this building, including the interior, about a month before construction could start. I'm guessing Stitch Designshop is the local architect, working with Design Collective? Stitch is also the architect of Bailey Park @ East End. They do great work!
Link Apartments:
Grubb is now leasing the first 100 apartments in this 205 apartment development. Apartments lease fast in downtown Winston-Salem, which explains why this city is experiencing such a big apartment construction boom, attracting developers from multiple states! Can you believe they already leased half of these units and construction isn't completed on them! Amenities include granite counter tops, walk-in closets, stainless steel appliances, private patios, a cyber café, a saltwater pool, an athletic center, outdoor grills, a clubroom, secured parking, and an electric car charging station. Pets are allowed with restrictions. Everything is energy efficient from the appliances to the windows. This is what the developer (Rachel Russell, Director of Real-estate Development for Grubb Properties) had to say:
“Winston-Salem is such a cool city and we love the downtown area. Grubb wanted to do a project in Winston-Salem because there is a need for more housing downtown. So that’s an investment opportunity for us. In addition, we’re growing our Link apartments brand. We’re trying to get Link apartments in all the major Southeast cities, and Winston-Salem is one that we’re really excited to be in.” The buildings are designed with multi-levels up to six floors. About 100 units will be completed by the first week of October. Construction should finish on all 205 units by the end of the year.

Third & Cherry Hotel:
CN Hotels has purchased the last properties needed to start demolition. The last tenants have also moved-out, according to WSTB. We could see something in this location very soon! This is inside the overlay, which requires a more "urban" design and higher quality materials.
S.I.D.E. Museum: BUILT! 
Winston-Salem has several awesome and truly world class museums that attract people from around the world to this city. Have you visited the Chair Library at S.I.D.E. Museum? It is now open and anyone visiting Winston-Salem can see the exhibits, which include chair designs from famous architects we often talk about on this forum. S.I.D.E. is in Lower Downtown's Old Salem District, near the Cemetery.

Inmar Headquarters:
Design Collective won the 2014 Maryland AIA Citation in Commercial Architecture for their design work on Downtown Winston-Salem's Inmar Headquarters.
More Jobs:
This should help bring more development to the area! Several companies have asked about incentives in the past week, with plans to create nearly 500 new jobs. Talk about a busy week for local economic development officials!
The newly restructured Piedmont Triad Regional Development Corporation, headquartered near Winston-Salem's Union Cross Business Park, is also seeking a federal designation called "Economic Development District" for the area. The federal designation would open up more financing opportunities from the U.S. Economic Development Administration.
Placemaking:
Southeastern United Grape and Wine Symposium:
As you know, the Winston-Salem Metro Area is North Carolina's Wine Country. If you own a winery or are thinking about starting one, you'll want to attend this. It's scheduled for November 5-6 at the Shelton-Badgett North Carolina Center for Viticulture & Enology. From downtown Winston-Salem, take the John Gold Expressway north to Exit 11.
National Center for Design Innovation:
A feature science documentary, “Killer in the Caves”, produced in part by researchers from Winston-Salem State University and UNC School of the Arts, in collaboration with Winston-Salem's National Center for Design Innovation, has been recognized with an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Cinematography in a Documentary Film, by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The documentary was funded and distributed in North America by the Smithsonian Channel in collaboration with German production house, Taglicht Media. The production will be distributed globally by the National Geographic Society. After premiering at the Museum of Natural History in Washington DC in 2013, the film has received wide acclaim at multiple film festivals in Britain, Germany, and the United States. The film uses high-speed and thermal imaging not only to examine and push scientific and technological frontiers, but also to communicate scientific discoveries on a very visible global scale.
