Business View-Oct 2023

39 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 10 BREAKHOUSE INC . “So we see the project from the very beginning through to the very end, the only thing we don’t do is build it physically. However, we are always on site as our clients representative until the very end.” ‘Breaking’ down projects in the pipeline Van den brink is quick to illustrate some of the top-tier projects the company is currently involved in as well as projects in the design pipeline. “We are working on some residential projects which are multi-unit however we are not involved in private projects such as single-family residential,” he notes. “Which makes sense if you think about it, a single family home is very personal, loaded with personal tastes, and no customers for our clients.” “In Halifax, we are working on building a very large 450-seat restaurant and we are working very closely with the restaurant owner to develop and articulate what the full experience is going to be.” “This is a seafood restaurant and we are working very closely to build a full interior design and patio design.” “We are also working on a few other retail spaces including developing a retail technology space for St Mary’s University which will be a real innovation hub for the university to test out some of the retail technology that they are developing.” “We are looking into doing some more of the multi-unit residential and we are in construction for a 29-storey, mixed-use development. This will be a hotel and a series of office spaces and apartments above that which includes a very large outdoor public space,” Vandenbrink details.
