Combined with the new logo, the name Ascension Garden portrays the reflective nature of this site.”

Construction has begun on the first phase of the site—a 32 acre area where Ascension Garden will have its main entrance, a landscaped entrance, a decorative stone façade embracing the Pinnacle Road gateway, a large storm water management facility and a water feature to enhance the main entrance.
