Something Big Is Coming to Union County – And It’s Built for People Like You

January 1, 2026

If you’re building something; a business, a brand, a vision for your future; you’ve probably felt this:

You’re doing everything you can… but you’re doing it alone.
And at some point, that starts to slow you down.
Not because you’re not capable but because growth wasn’t meant to happen in isolation.

The Real Problem: What No One Talks About

Working alone isn’t just inconvenient, it’s heavy. It looks like:

Second-guessing your decisions
Losing momentum when things get hard
Not having anyone who truly understands your journey
Sitting on ideas because you don’t have the right people to refine them with

For startup founders just getting started and business owners trying to grow to the next level, this is where progress stalls. Not from lack of effort but from lack of environment.

A Gap in Union County

Here in Union County, that gap is real. There are thousands of small businesses, many operating from home, building quietly, figuring things out as they go. But until now, there hasn’t been a true place for them to connect, collaborate, and grow together. That’s what’s about to change.

More Than a Workspace, It’s A Movement

Ascend704 is being built as the first of its kind in Union County. Not just a place to work but a place where people and ideas rise together. A space designed for:

Entrepreneurs just starting out
Business owners ready to grow
Professionals who know they’re capable of more but need the right environment to unlock it

Because when the right people come together, everything accelerates.

What Makes Ascend704 Different

This isn’t about desks, Wi-Fi, or bottomless coffee. Ascend704 is where:

Collisions turn into collaborations
Conversations turn into opportunities
Community turns into real growth

Through partnerships like South Piedmont Community College’s Small Business Center, members gain access to mentorship, training programs, and business support resources. Even more powerful is the connection to the college, which provides a direct connection to student talent, and is where:

Students have an opportunity to gain real-world experience
Entrepreneurs get fresh ideas, energy, and execution support

It’s a true win-win and something you won’t find in just any coworking space.

The Community Starts Before the Building Opens

Ascend704 doesn’t start when the doors open. It starts now. As we build toward January 2027, the community will already be forming through:

Entrepreneur exchanges
“Ask a Professional” days
Early connection opportunities

And when the doors officially open, Ascend704 will become home to programs like Level Up, a flagship business accelerator designed to help entrepreneurs gain clarity, traction, and real momentum. This isn’t just a workspace launch. It’s the beginning of an ecosystem.

Imagine What’s Possible

Imagine being in a space where: You’re surrounded by people who get it You can test ideas before you take risks You don’t have to figure everything out on your own Where growth feels supported, not solitary. That’s what Ascend704 is creating.

Be Part of It From the Beginning

Something is rising in Union County. And if you’re building something of your own, this was built with you in mind.
