Congratulations to Jared Rogers, who was recently honored with the NAIOP Award for North Carolina Redevelopment Project of the Year for his work on Salem Bottleworks. This recognition highlights both vision and dedication to community-focused development.
Originally built in 1929, Salem Bottleworks stands as a testament to Winston-Salem’s industrial heritage. Rather than allowing this historic structure to fade into obscurity, the project team embraced the opportunity to preserve its character while reimagining its purpose for a modern audience. Through a careful and thoughtful restoration process, the building has been transformed into a space that not only honors its past but also contributes meaningfully to the city’s continued growth and vibrancy.
This achievement would not have been possible without close collaboration between Jared and LMI Builders and CMJW Architects. Their combined expertise brought new life to a once-aging landmark. Their work demonstrates how redevelopment, when done right, can bridge history and progress to create spaces that serve current needs while maintaining a strong sense of place.
Today, Salem Bottleworks is more than just a restored building; it is an integral part of the Winston-Salem community, reflecting the energy, creativity, and resilience that define the area. Projects like this remind us of the value of preservation and the impact thoughtful development can have on shaping thriving, connected communities.
