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.

Sanford Area Growth Alliance honored Lee-Moore Capital Chairman, President and CEO Kirk Bradley with the SAGA Pioneer Award.

The Pioneer Award, SAGA’s highest individual honor, recognizes leaders whose entrepreneurial spirit and community involvement accelerate Central North Carolina’s economic growth. SAGA credited Bradley’s work on the Central Carolina Enterprise Park and the MOSAIC at Chatham Park mixed-use development with bringing hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars of capital to the Sanford region.

In addition to his work with Lee-Moore Capital, Bradley has been a long-time member of SAGA’s leadership team. His commitment to the healthy growth of the Sanford-area community is evident in his investment in youth programs. He chaired the Lee County Education Foundation and encouraged SAGA’s efforts in the RISE Program and Children’s Business Fair. He is also an ardent supporter of the Temple Theatre Company and the Boys and Girls Club of Central NC.

For Bradley, the SAGA Pioneer Award commemorates the importance of nurturing the Sanford-area community from the ground up. His ongoing investment in the economic development of Central NC and the people who make it great certainly haven’t gone unnoticed.

Wade Barber’s family members and long-time friends, plus local government officials and community professionals, gathered Tuesday, August 27 at Northwood Landing, to dedicate the new Wade Barber Park, a 2.5-acre wooded area with paved walkways and benches.

Fondness and reverence for Barber was palpable amongst the 50+ attendees as Kirk Bradley, Susan Keller and Edward Holmes shared personal and professional stories about Barber.

“Wade was a great friend both personally and professionally. He would have appreciated this park because he was a true environmentalist and good at creating a sense of community,” said Bradley, developer of Northwood Landing.

With Edward and Wade’s daughter Liz Barber by his side, Bradley read a plaque installed in a boulder at the park’s entrance. The plaque captures the impact Wade Barber had on his community and family.

Wade Barber Park is located in Northwood Landing, adjacent to MOSAIC at Chatham Park. Community members are invited to walk its trails.
