A 102,000 s.f, 12 million dollar adaptive re-use of a early 20th c. tobacco market building in Wilson, NC

Whiligig Station is a turn of the century tobacco market building in downtown Wilson, North Carolina that has sat vacant for decades like many of these massive buildings. With such a large building footprint we worked to develop a network of interior streets to bring light and air into the building along with a strategically positioned atrium. The project includes a new city visitor center, retail and restaurant space and over 80 apartment units carefully placed within the structure of the buidling. The project received both state and federal historic tax credits.
