850 & 890 Chatham Road represent the third and final phase of the former mill-campus redevelopment at the historic Chatham Mill Campus in Winston-Salem. The property consists of two adjacent buildings, totaling 57,190 SF, sitting on a 1.02-acre parcel — offering a substantial footprint for adaptive reuse.
All entitlements are complete, making it “shovel-ready” for redevelopment.
A new roof was completed in 2023, enhancing the building’s structural readiness and reducing near-term capital expenditure for a buyer.
Given its historic-registry status, the property qualifies for historic rehabilitation tax credits, and it is located within an Opportunity Zone — factors that may provide incentive potential for investors or developers.
Its proximity to downtown Winston-Salem, the nearby Wake Forest University, the historic West End district, and public transit enhances its appeal for residential, mixed-use, or creative-office conversion.
