Ziehl-Abegg’s North American HQ Wins NAIOP NC Industrial Project of the Year

Front Street Capital is proud to announce that the Ziehl-Abegg North American Headquarters, located in Union Cross Industrial Center, has been recognized as the Industrial Project of the Year by NAIOP North Carolina. This prestigious award highlights the vision, collaboration, and execution that brought this world-class facility to life.

A global leader in ventilation and drive technology, Ziehl-Abegg has been a part of the Triad business community for more than two decades. As their business, operations, and workforce grew, so did their need for a larger, more advanced, and more efficient space – ideally without leaving the strong business climate they’d thrived in here. 

What began as a strategic search across multiple counties in the NC Piedmont resulted in Ziehl-Abegg choosing Union Cross Industrial Center, reinforcing the place Winston-Salem and Forsyth County hold at the forefront of industrial growth.

The ultimate result: a 526,632-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility designed to support manufacturing, research and development, distribution, and corporate operations under one roof – all enhancing operational efficiency, innovation, sustainability, and job creation. 

We’re incredibly grateful for the partners who made and will continue to make it so successful:



With plans to add hundreds of jobs in the coming years, Ziehl-Abegg’s expansion demonstrates the strength of our local economy and the power of collaboration. We are honored to have played a role this project and look forward to continued growth at Union Cross, in Winston-Salem / Forsyth County, and beyond.

Congratulations to Ziehl-Abegg and the entire project team on this well-deserved recognition.
