Carter, Front Street Building Wake Forest Student Housing

Carter and Front Street Capital have broken ground on Creekside at The Grounds — a new student apartment community and the first vertical development within the mixed-use district known as The Grounds. 

Located within the 100-acre development overlooking the newly restored Silas Creek, Creekside at The Grounds is part of Winston-Salem’s sports and entertainment district, directly adjacent to Wake Forest University.

Creekside will feature a 229-unit, 521-bed fully furnished residential community tailored for upperclassmen and graduate students. The project will offer: fully furnished units with each bedroom having a private bathroom, a clubhouse with study rooms and a fitness center, and an outdoor swimming pool, kitchen, and entertainment area. 

Construction of Creekside is underway, with initial sitework and grading beginning this week for a Fall 2027 delivery. The Preston Partnership designed the project and is being built by Brasfield & Gorrie. Financial partners on Creekside are Kayne Anderson Real Estate and Truist Financial Corporation.
