Who is going to build the next skyscraper in the triad? Will it be Winston Salem, Or will be Greensboro? with the recent boom and bustle of construction going on in both, it's safe to say a big project is somewhere in the cards. but which city will it be.

Your thoughts?
Not necessarily. Most of the construction going on in most midsized cities, at least in the Southeast, is lowrise/midrise construction; that doesn't necessarily translate to new highrise construction being in the cards. With that said, going off current trends, it would probably be Winston-Salem.

Well maybe not supertall skyscraper per say, like 40+ floors, more like a nice mixed used skyscraper with 2 floors of retail, 8 floors of office space and 10 floors of residential.
Years ago High Point was supposed to get a skyscraper much to which was going to be.......wait for it......... mostly showroom space. The builder started on the project when it was pointed out a zoning restriction prevented the project from moving forward. The issue, if I remember correctly, the size of the building and it's proximately to the sidewalk. The plan was scrapped.

... wow, do you have any renderings? also poor HP... was that seriously so bad that they had to scrap the entire project..
I agree, and honestly I think several of those types of buildings build a better urban fabric than a few 20+ story buildings.
I completely agree. I'm less concerned with downtowns that create an imposing skyline and more interested in downtowns that are vibrant and attractive at street level. Both cities already have that in spots, but I'd love to see it continue to spread.
