Fremont is filling in. More than two dozen apartment and mixed-use projects are active in the neighborhood right now, together adding well over 2,100 units. None of them is a tower. Fremont zoning limits most new buildings to seven or eight stories, so Fremont is getting a steady run of mid rise apartment buildings on a few key streets rather than a taller skyline.
The activity clusters tightly. Most of the new construction is on Stone Way North, Woodland Park Avenue North, and North 36th Street, with a handful more along Fremont Avenue North. If you walk those corridors this year you will pass active sites, fenced lots, and finished buildings leasing up, often within a block of each other.

What is actually building today
Stone Way is the busiest corridor. 3833 Stone Way N has its construction permit in hand and is putting up a seven story, 231 unit building. One block north, 3665 Stone Way N is the largest project in the neighborhood by unit count at 243 units, and it is in building permit review, so expect fencing and excavation to follow once the city issues the permit.
North 36th Street is close behind. 508 N 36th St received its construction permit in June 2026 and is the newest active site in Fremont, a seven story building with 169 units. Next door, 452 N 36th St would add another 184 units at similar height once it clears review.
Fremont Avenue stays at main street scale. 4401 Fremont Ave N, a Cohen Properties project, is under construction as a five story, 145 unit building with ground floor commercial space, the kind of scale that fits the shopping street rather than overwhelming it.
What residents will see change
Expect ground floor retail and restaurant space under most of these buildings, so Stone Way and Fremont Avenue stay walkable as they densify. Expect more neighbors too, since the active projects alone would add more than 2,100 units over the next two to three years. And expect construction sequencing, because several of the largest sites are within a few blocks of each other on Stone Way and Woodland Park Avenue, so crane and truck traffic will move around the neighborhood as projects start and finish.
Height is the one thing that will not change. The tallest buildings on this list top out at eight stories. Fremont has no high rise zoning, so the neighborhood adds mid rise infill instead of the towers going up in South Lake Union a mile to the east.
