850 & 890 Chatham Road

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.
