Description

Own a piece of Smithers history with this landmark downtown building at 1161 Main Street.

Offering 3,521 sq. ft. of quality-built space, the building features a decorative storefront, exceptional Main Street exposure, strong pedestrian traffic, and highly visible frontage. C-1 zoning provides flexibility for a wide range of commercial uses, making it an outstanding opportunity for investors, entrepreneurs, or owner-operators.
