Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Forsyth County publishes the owner of record, assessed value, deed stamps and last sale price of every parcel in Winston-Salem free through public map services, and North Carolina's deed stamps price most sales. Downtown's towers sit in single-purpose LLCs, two have passed through foreclosure since 2022, and the City, the school board and Wake Forest hold the most land. Owner, deed and value data now come from the County's own GIS server (terraweb.co.forsyth.nc.us), because the ArcGIS Online host it used before answers 403 to robots.txt.

Can you find out who owns it?

North Carolina records title by deed with the county Register of Deeds; Winston-Salem lies wholly in Forsyth County. The County Tax Assessor's mapping section keeps what it calls the 'tax scroll' of owners, built from Register of Deeds records, and publishes every parcel's current owner, mailing address, deed book and page, deed date, revenue stamps, total assessed value and last qualified sale price through a free public map service and an online property search, with no account. Prices reach the record because the seller pays the State's deed excise tax of $1 per $500 of price, which the stamps record. The limits: towers sit in single-purpose LLCs, a sale of the owning company shows no price, and the County grants no reuse licence for the data.

The marquee buildings

The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

Wikipedia says PMC Property Group and Kimpton bought the 1929 former RJR headquarters, with the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel below and apartments on floors 7-19. The tie to PMC rests on Wikipedia and the shared address. The County layer reads 'VALUE PENDING' for both units, so no assessment is given here.

Hanes Mall 3320 Silas Creek Parkway, Winston-Salem 526,683 sq ft on the main parcel (roll); 1,435,164 sq ft centre (Wikipedia)	Retail	CBL & Associates Properties (Hanes Mall CMBS 2026 LLC; CBL Hanes Mall OP PropCo LLC) The city's highest-valued taxable parcel: 3320 Silas Creek Pkwy, 33.3 acres, $121.1M, held by Hanes Mall CMBS 2026 LLC under a deed of 18 Mar 2026 (book 3914, page 2950) that carries no stamps. Two more pad parcels moved on the same deed. The LLC is mailed to 2030 Hamilton Place Blvd, Chattanooga, the address of CBL Hanes Mall OP PropCo LLC, which holds 160 Hanes Mall Cir and appears in CBL's FY2025 Exhibit 21. CBL's Q2 2026 10-Q says Hanes Mall is in the pool securing a $425.0M secured mall loan due 2031 at 7.40%.

Reynolds American / R. J. Reynolds Plaza Building 401 N Main Street, Winston-Salem 536,110 sq ft (roll)	Office	R. J. Reynolds (roll: 'Reynolds R J Inc'), a BAT subsidiary The roll names 'Reynolds R J Inc', mailed to PO Box 2959, Winston-Salem, on 401 N Main St (1.73 acres, built 1981), assessed at $35.5M. BAT's 2025 Annual Report gives 401 N. Main Street as the address of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and other U.S. subsidiaries, and calls Winston-Salem 'our U.S. headquarters'. Other city holdings include 950 Reynolds Blvd ($39.1M), 2901 Shorefair Dr ($18.5M) and 4040 Reynolds Ct ($15.2M). The Tobaccoville plant (7201 Doral Dr, 555.56 acres, $130.8M) is outside the city.

Truist Stadium (former BB&T Ballpark) 951 Ballpark Way, Winston-Salem 8.16 acres	Civic	City of Winston-Salem The roll names the City of Winston-Salem on 951 Ballpark Way (8.16 acres, deed book 2913, page 2019, dated 2009). The public layer shows a total value of 0, as it does for most exempt parcels. Wikipedia gives the City as owner, an opening on 10 Apr 2010 at a cost of $48.7 million, and the name BB&T Ballpark from 2010 to 2020. A 1.06-acre parcel at 929 Ballpark Way belongs to Twin City Landco LLC of New York (2024 deed, 3,706 stamps = $1.85M); its relation to the stadium is not stated.

The deed carries no stamps, and the layer shows no value, as it does for exempt land. Wikipedia's infobox still gives the owner as the Airport Commission of Forsyth County. The deed on the roll is the more recent record, but this record did not read the deed itself, so its terms are not stated. Forsyth County also holds 4001 N Liberty St (37.3 acres) next door.

Wake Forest University (Reynolda campus) 1834 Wake Forest Road, Winston-Salem 213.7 acres (main parcel, roll)	Institutional	Wake Forest University The roll names Wake Forest University on 1834 Wake Forest Rd (213.7 acres) and on 177 parcels in the city, about 778 acres.

The university also holds the 74.7-acre Reynolda Rd tract and 499 Deacon Blvd (41.6 acres). The academic medical centre is recorded separately: Wake Forest University Health Sciences, NC Baptist Hospitals and the joint 'WFU Health Sciences/NCBH Inc' hold 123 parcels (about 146 acres, $212.2M taxable), including 301 Medical Center Blvd (326,082 sq ft, built 2023).

The core land

The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.

Winston-Salem's most valuable taxable ground is not downtown. It is Hanes Mall and the industrial parks to the south-west and east. The downtown business improvement district as a whole is assessed at less than six times the mall parcel. Values are total assessed values (2025 reappraisal) on the County's parcel table on its own GIS server, read 4 Nov 2026, for parcels whose centroids fall inside the City's corporate limits. Exempt parcels mostly show a value of 0 and 915 City parcels read 'VALUE PENDING', so public and institutional ground is under-counted. Prices are stamp-implied (stamps x $500) on each parcel's current deed.

Highest-valued taxable parcel$121,126,400

3320 Silas Creek Pkwy (Hanes Mall), Hanes Mall CMBS 2026 LLC (CBL), 33.33 acres. Next: 2950 Temple School Rd (Caterpillar Inc, 99.6 acres, $89.2M) and 575 N Patterson Ave (VTR LS Building 91 LLC, Ventas, $82.4M). Forsyth County parcel table, Nov 2026.

All City of Winston-Salem parcels$33.28 billion

99,333 parcels inside the corporate limits (86,489 acres by the limits layer; 73,577 acres of parcels). 4,980 of them show a total value of 0, mostly exempt land, and 915 read 'VALUE PENDING'. Forsyth County as a whole: $56.08B over 168,487 roll rows. Forsyth County parcel table and corporate limits, Nov 2026.

Downtown business improvement district$693.3 million

558 parcels, 148 acres, inside the 'Downtown WS BID' municipal service district. The highest are One West Fourth ($36.9M), 100 North Main ($35.6M), RJR's 401 N Main ($35.5M), 501 W Fourth St apartments ($34.7M) and 425 Cherry St ($32.0M). Exempt civic and Innovation Quarter buildings largely show no value. Forsyth County layers, Nov 2026.

Largest single-parcel deed on the current roll, 2021-26$83,500,000

545 Power Plant Cir to TBR Plant 64 Owner LLC, 9 Mar 2023 (deed 3743/3442, 167,000 stamps, matching the roll's last qualified sale price). A $105.0M portfolio deed of 16 Oct 2023 (3777/1421, 210,000 stamps) to BRI TIP LLC covers 22 industrial parcels in the County, 2 of them inside the City by centroid. Forsyth County parcel table, Nov 2026.

Largest single-parcel deed since 2025$56,150,000

425 Cherry St to 425 N Cherry St Property Owner LLC, 23 Jul 2025 (deed 3875/2866, 112,300 stamps, matching the last qualified sale price). Next is a $44.0M deed of 18 Nov 2025 (88,000 stamps) to CCM Properties Five LLC for a 149,493 sq ft parcel at the Hanes Mall address, assessed at $14.1M; the same buyer took four more parcels that day. Then $34.5M to Realty Income's MDC NC2 LP for 390 Business Park Dr (8 Jul 2026). A 2026 Hobby Lobby deed at 1000 E Hanes Mill Rd shows 160,000 stamps but an $8.0M last qualified sale price, so it is left out. Forsyth County parcel table, Nov 2026.

Who owns the town

At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.

In Winston-Salem the largest landholder by area is the City, which owns about 5,680 acres, a fifth of it the Salem Lake watershed. The school board, Wake Forest University and the County come next. Private concentration shows in RJR's campus and in rental-house platforms holding hundreds of houses each (see commercial). Counts group each spelling of an owner's name among the 99,333 Forsyth County parcels whose centroids fall inside the City's corporate limits (County GIS server, read 4 Nov 2026). Acres are the computed area of the County's parcel polygons unless marked as the roll's acreage. Most exempt parcels show a value of 0, so public land carries no dollar figure here.

The County layer shows no value on almost all of them because they are exempt, so City land has no dollar total here. The City ABC Board's parcels are not counted.

State of North Carolina Owner name 'STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA'.

Who builds the houses

New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.

New homes in Winston-Salem are now almost all single-family houses, built mostly by national public builders on the city's edges. The Census place file counts 1,364 one-unit permits in 2025 ($330.0M) against a single 12-unit apartment building. In 2024 the city permitted 1,168 houses and 871 apartments in 65 buildings of 5+ units, so the 2025 apartment pipeline nearly stopped. No local builder league table is published, and the roll does not name contractors. The figure here is lots in the builder's own name inside the City on the County roll (County GIS server, 4 Nov 2026), split by whether the layer shows a building on the lot. That measures a builder's pipeline, not its completions.

Commercial landlords

The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.

Winston-Salem's large private landlords are a health-care REIT on the old tobacco district downtown, a mall REIT on the city's biggest taxable parcel, an industrial net-lease REIT in its business parks, and single-family rental platforms. The rental platforms hold more houses here than in most cities this size. Downtown office towers stand in single-purpose LLCs whose parents no opened filing names (see marquee), so they are not counted here. Figures are the County roll's total value and building square feet for parcels inside the City's limits (County GIS server, Nov 2026), grouped under entity names that the landlord's own SEC filing confirms.

Looked for and not found

Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.

Who stands behind the single-purpose owners of downtown's towers: WFC Property LLC (100 North Main, Oklahoma City address), 200 West Land DST and 200 West Building LLC (200 W Second; the 2015 prospectus names an individual sponsor, who is not named here), Winston Tower LLC (Charlotte), AFF III One West Owner LLC (Atlanta) and 425 N Cherry St Property Owner LLC (Weston, FL). No opened filing names their parents.
Whether 100 North Main is now called 'Truist Center', as the brief suggested. Every opened source calls it 100 North Main Street, Wells Fargo Center or Wachovia Center. 'Truist' attaches in opened sources only to the ballpark (Truist Stadium, formerly BB&T Ballpark). BB&T's own Winston-Salem buildings are 200 W Second St, a ground-leased DST, and 101 N Cherry St, which is held in the name Branch Banking and Trust Company ($25.5M; 2017 deed with 44,275 stamps = $22.1M, against a roll 'last qualified sale' of $27.1M that does not match the stamps).
The use of 425 Cherry St (219,294 sq ft, built 1983) is not stated in any opened source.
FirstKey Homes: the 'FKH SFR' partnerships hold 509 City houses ($157.6M), MCH SFR entities 151 ($45.7M) and PR Borrower 28 LLC 63 ($15.5M). None of their parents was confirmed in an opened filing, so they are left out of the commercial table.
The Reynolds Building condominium units and some new subdivisions show a total value of 0 or 'VALUE PENDING' on the County layer. The County's property record cards (a JavaScript app) may carry fuller values but were not read.
Smith Reynolds Airport: the roll names the County of Forsyth under a 2022 deed, while Wikipedia gives the Airport Commission of Forsyth County. The 2022 deed was not read.
Winston-Salem State University's campus. The roll's 'STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA' rows do not name the institution, and there is no legal-description field on the public layer to separate them.
Atrium Health's position. The medical centre's parcels stand in the names of Wake Forest University Health Sciences and North Carolina Baptist Hospitals. No opened source was read on how those entities relate to Atrium Health or Advocate Health.
Forestar and CMH Homes parents, and the parents of WFIQ Holdings LLC (21 Innovation Quarter parcels), TBR Plant 64 Owner LLC and BRI TIP LLC.
The text of North Carolina's deed excise statute (G.S. 105-228.30) was not read: ncleg.gov blocked earlier records' scripts and was not retried here. The $1-per-$500 rate is shown by the County's own data, where stamps x $500 equals the last qualified sale price on the deeds quoted in this record.
One West Fourth's 17 Mar 2023 foreclosure deed (book 3744, page 4002; 45,000 stamps = $22.5M, coded a loan-based foreclosure) — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04). The County-hosted sales layer on terraweb does not carry it, and the current roll shows only the later no-stamp deed.
425 Cherry St's 15 Mar 2022 transfer (3682/960, 99,009 stamps = $49,504,500), coded a loan-based foreclosure — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04).
Loan-based foreclosures in the City, 2021-26: 309 transfers coded '1' or 'Z' (35, 67, 55, 66, 42 and 44 by year; 294 residential, 15 commercial) — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04). The County-hosted sales layer holds only 9,940 qualified and disqualified sales with no foreclosure codes.
Sale qualification codes on the BRI TIP ('A', two or more parcels), TBR Plant 64 ('E', related parties) and CCM Properties Five ('H', seller keeps possession or a lease) deeds — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04).
The check that stamps x $500 equalled the stated price on 34,034 of 34,038 City transfers since 2021 — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04). On the current roll, stamps x $500 match the last qualified sale price on the deeds quoted here.
