The original building is 5 stories with mostly open floorplans spanning from 3,500-5,000 square feet per floor. Each floor of the 3-story addition is approximately 2,500 square feet with setup varying from open space to offices. The facility has been well-maintained and upgraded throughout the years while still keeping the historic character. It qualifies for historic tax credits and is located in an opportunity zone. The property sits on 0.54 acres, including 42 surface parking spaces, and borders the Winston-Salem Greenway and the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter.

The project’s total investment to date is greater than $841 million, and it is home to more than 170 companies, 5 academic institutions, 3,700 workers, and almost 10,000 students/workforce training participants. Phase II of the Innovation Quarter Master Plan was announced in 2021 will add an additional 1 million square feet of clinical/lab/office space. The S.J. Nissen Wagon Works building is located directly between the Phase I and II plans, and will be centrally located in the Innovation Quarter.
