OVERVIEW

The 130,000 square foot former Bahnson Company building will be re-purposed as 1001 an active, community focused, mixed-use development project designed to embrace the broader community, through extensive culinary opportunities and creative entrepreneurship, as a key part of Winston-Salem’s fast evolving arts and innovation ecosystem.

Located in a qualified census tract, 1001 intentionally strives to be accessible to our under served populations through opportunity and location. In spite of its academic and cultural richness, the south side is in need of opportunity—jobs, training, education, services, food. 1001 seeks to be the catalyst for complementary economic revitalization through synergistic partnerships with area organizations and businesses.

The locally based development team seeks to fulfill specific needs of the community which will affordably complement the medical and biotech innovation in the WFIQ and the growth of the downtown core. With a strong focus on culinary and creative entrepreneurship, the team aims to maximize the educational and business benefits for community residents by creating a sustainable, community based facility offering great space, in an open floor plan,  at affordable cost. 

The building features an open floor plan, soaring ceilings, lots of light, parking and the opportunity to retain many historic architectural features that will enhance the space with an authentic, Camel City industrial aesthetic. Located on the Strollway across from Old Salem Museum & Gardens, 1001 connects UNCSA, WFIQ, WSSU, Salem College, and downtown, anchoring the south side as a creative arts and culinary focused redevelopment.
