The Smithe
Refined downtown living in Vancouver’s theatre district
Located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, just steps from the city’s premier theatres, art galleries, and award-winning restaurants, 885 Cambie Street—The Smithe—is a 27-storey mixed-use high-rise that blends contemporary luxury with functional urban design. Developed as a prominent addition to Vancouver’s skyline, this project includes 92 upscale residential units along with 34,000 square feet of Class A office and retail space.
As the commercial glazing contractor for The Smithe, Phoenix Glass provided a full range of architectural glazing services. Project highlights include the supply and installation of our high-performance 600D curtain wall system, chosen for its clean sightlines, energy efficiency, and durability. We also installed custom flared architectural sunshades, adding both artistic impact and solar control, and completed the installation of a dramatic 20-millimeter clear structural glass canopy that wraps around the full perimeter of the ground floor—delivering both elegance and weather protection.
This mixed-use development is a standout example of Phoenix Glass’s capabilities in complex commercial glazing systems for high-rise residential and office towers.
