Have you been to Chatham County’s top coworking and innovation hot spot? 79°West Innovation Hub is located within MOSAIC at Chatham Park, an entertainment and lifestyle center developed by a Lee-Moore Capital entity.

“Our mission is to be a county hub for local government, for-profit enterprise and nonprofit organizations,” says 79°West Co-Director Dustin Miller. In that vein, the hub is home base for the Rotary Club of Pittsboro, Chatham Artists Guild, Chatham County EDC and the Chatham Chamber of Commerce.

Twenty-five private office tenants utilize 79°West, and 67 businesses work in the space. In the past 18 months, the hub hosted 200+ community events and 2,000 private meetings, featured 22 Chatham Artists Guild artists, and provided high-speed internet to 1300 Chatham County residents.

The inaugural 79°West Breakfast Club in August 2024 welcomed 140 attendees and its popularity continues. Other events include Innovate Carolina seminars, the Best of Chatham party, and tenant sessions. 79°West members can take their work on the road with the Coworking Passport Program, which offers members limited access to 10 participating locations in the Carolinas.

Munson Law Firm’s Katie Stokes says, “There’s nowhere else we’d want to be as we love being immersed in community and innovation. We’ve built real relationships.”

 

The Triangle Business Journal (TBJ) Space Awards named the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Pittsboro the Top Hospitality/Entertainment Development for 2025. It is one of eleven commercial real estate developments in the Triangle market to be honored by the TBJ, with categories ranging from office developments to restaurants to interior design.

MOSAIC welcomed the Hampton Inn & Suites in October 2024 as Chatham County’s first business hotel. The hotel invites guests to enjoy local arts and culture, featuring Mark Hewitt’s pottery on the two-story lobby wall and art from Chatham Arts Council artists in the hallways and rooms. BryantCorp, the family-owned and community-focused developer who built the hotel, is further supporting the hotel’s integration into Chatham with an artist-in-residence program.

In 2024, MOSAIC hosted 47 events with 17,000+ attendees during the MOSAIC 2024 Events series. 79°West Innovation Hub hosted 84 events and launched 79°West Breakfast Club, under the leadership of Katie and Dustin Miller.

MOSAIC Markets was new in 2024, and MOSAIC was the place for parties, including Pittsboro’s Cycle NC After Party and Chatham Magazine’s first Best of Chatham Party.

MOSAIC and Northwood Landing added multiple Blink EV charging stations, and MOSAIC’s bees produced 75 pounds of honey! Wade Barber Park, a public, 2.5-acre wooded area with paved trails and benches, was dedicated at Northwood Landing.
