I doubt very much the hotel component will be branded 'Breka'.

More likely they'll partner with an established Hotelier or brand to run the Hotel component.

Maybe they'll have a Breka cafe-restaurant in the podium working in concert with the hotel services as well as public-facing - and in that way stay more in their lane.

A free continental breakfast would definitely be a drawing card for the hotel.

The Vancouver Sun article about Breka Hotel said they have a hotel chain ready, but they will reveal who they have partnered with at a later time. This area is starting to come together.

If I could choose between the Breka Development hotel and them bringing back their old sandwiches on baguette, I might honestly choose the latter.

For the rendering that was posted, it looks like the screen shot was taken from the website just as it was beginning to transition to the next image. That resulted in some odd visual artefacts that I thought might have been overly ambitious detailing by the architect that didn't survive value engineering. Specifically, in the rendering, it looks like there are additional thin windows mid-way through some walls and the windows, particularly at the corner, has these extra jogs near the top.

Here's how it should have looked

As far as concept/market renderings to finalized constructions go, that's as pretty close as you can get.

You can barely see that many obvious or drastic changes resulting from any value-engineering or design development revisions that occurred between the two.

I just noticed the extra window mullions for operable windows.

..but those suites are probably quite dark inside.

The alley side has more windows:

I tired to avoid that, but right click, save as, didn't save me.

At one point it looked like they were going to convert the homes to rentals:

But it looks like it is back to being strata.

There is also supposed to be ground floor retail.

Surprised they think condos are going to sell.

There's been several revisions to Parcel C, including a site wide rezoning amendment submitted in 2020 that would have allowed for moderate income rental homes.
