Arbor Acres Retirement Community Inc. has broken ground on a $55 million project that will add 56 independent-living apartments to the campus. âWe are calling it a return to the heart,â said Andrew Applegate, Arbor Acresâ president and chief executive. The plan is for the units to be available for occupants by January 2024. The start of work on the two-building Aldersgate Square initiative ends months of negotiations over traffic concerns between Arbor Acres, Winston-Salem officials and neighbors, who were concerned about additional traffic to the expansion site using Arbor and Kent roads as a shortcut to speed through their historic neighborhood. When Arbor Acresâ rezoning plans were brought to the council in September, the expansion was opposed by some residents on Reynolda Park.
