The tech boom continues! More new office space for tech companies...
Bailey Power Plant Building 23-1:
A new construction 5-storey building is the latest proposed addition to downtown Winston-Salem's IQ District. The new building will incorporate an existing 2-storey Bailey Power Plant Building from 1926 and parts of the new brick and glass building will be designed to fit-in with the older building. This project is Phase 2 of the Bailey Power Plant Project. It appears as if the new construction building will be mostly office space and the 1926 building will be entertainment & retail space, with part of the new building also used for entertainment & retail. It will have a total of 58,000 square feet of entertainment & retail space on two floors. Look for an official announcement possibly at the end of February. Someone at the WSTB Forum said construction could start in March? This will bring the Bailey Power Plant Project to 200,000 square feet. Yes, the boardwalk is also included in this project and can be seen in the renderings.

Notice the boardwalk connecting to the entertainment and retail space on the second floor:
75% of the space in this project is new construction space and only 25% is adaptive-reuse.
This will replace the latticework tower and silo on the Fourth Street side:
