The Model Suite began construction on March 1st. It is now complete and ready for viewing.
We are attaching a few photos here so that you can see what it looks like now but please reach out to us anytime if you are planning to visit Blue and would like to see the model suite.
We would love to show it to you and get your input on any of the construction or furnishings.

- Ted Whitehead – Board President
- Cindy Kropf – Board Director
- Bryn Jones – Board Director
- Brian Mitchell – Renovation Committee
- Soniya Amin - Renovation Committee

Vision:
Mosaic Suites at Blue are the mountain-modern, spa-luxury accommodations, inspired by local natural elements (rocks, fire, water & air). The suites are aesthetically beautiful, serene, comfortable, durable and state-of-the-art. From booking to arrival to departure the Mosaic experience is uniquely upscale, indulgent in style, full of unexpected-extras and instagram-worthy moments. A natural Mosaic themed design brand is subtly and cleverly detailed throughout.

Why do we have to do anything?
This refurbishment will position Mosaic to meet and exceed the expectations of guests and permit BMR as your rental manager to continue commanding market leading rates for properties on the rental program.
Why do we have to do kitchens and bathrooms?
Aside from a dated appearance, tubs are failing throughout the building and cabinet doors are showing significant signs of wear and tear in several units.
What if I do nothing or do not consent to the refurbishment?
When will my unit come off the Rental Program?
Do I have to provide notice to BMR to come off the Rental Program?
Can I rent my unit myself or through someone else?
This aspect of the Rental Management Agreement (RMA) protects the interests of all owners and applies regardless of whether your unit is on the Rental Program. This provision supports the intended use of your property within a resort environment and protects the integrity of the hotel operation and its ability to drive revenues to the rental pool. This restriction is fundamental to the success of the resort and your revenues and as such this aspect of the RMA is embedded in your condominium corporation’s Declaration documentation.
If I do not refurbish, can I stay on the rental program or rent my unit privately?
As referenced in the Declaration for your condominium, under the terms of the RMA, units must be maintained at a standard determined by the Rental Manager. That standard is derived from industry knowledge of what is required to meet guest expectations and one that positions the hotel in such a way that it remains competitive and consistent with comparable properties.
Once a unit no longer meets that standard i.e. when refurbishment begins, it would no longer eligible to be part of the rental program.
The RMA is clear that owners may not rent their units privately under any circumstances.
If I don’t refurbish what will the impact be on my ability to sell my unit?
Why doesn’t BMR pay for half; they get half the benefit?
BMR does not own assets within the condominiums (save for the administrative spaces) and is only retained on contract as Rental Manager. As such, it is unable to make direct investments in this area but does all it can to build the vitality of the resort (including the performance of the hotels) using BMR dollars through increasing the attractiveness of the resort as a destination year-round and across all demographics.
Can I decide to do the refurbishment later?
A compounding consideration is that if an owner refurbishes late, the clock counting down to the next round of refurbishments has already been ticking. The refurbishment schedule does not start again at the time an individual unit refurbishes. Delayed refurbishment translates into a shorter period of utility and opportunity for return on the project; the more delay that is involved the bigger that disadvantage becomes.
When will the refurbishment take place?
What happens to the old furniture?
I have further questions. Who can I speak to?
