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 homes. None of them is a tower. Fremont zoning holds most new buildings to seven or eight stories, so the change here looks like a steady run of mid rise apartment buildings landing along a few key streets rather than a skyline shift.
The activity clusters tightly. Stone Way North, Woodland Park Avenue North, and North 36th Street carry most of the new construction, 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 home building. One block north, 3665 Stone Way N is the largest project in the neighborhood by home count at 243 units, and it sits 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 freshest active site in Fremont, a seven story building with 169 homes. Next door in the pipeline, 452 N 36th St would add another 184 homes at similar height once it clears review.
Fremont Avenue keeps its main street feel. 4401 Fremont Ave N, a Cohen Properties project, is under construction as a five story, 145 home 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, which keeps Stone Way and Fremont Avenue walkable as they densify. Expect more neighbors too, since the active pipeline alone would add roughly a Fremont sized share of Seattle's new apartments over the next two to three years. And expect construction sequencing, because several of the largest sites sit 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.
What you will not see is height creep. The tallest buildings on this list top out at eight stories. Fremont has no high rise zoning, so its growth arrives as broad mid rise infill instead of the towers going up in South Lake Union a mile to the east.
