According to an article in today's Bellingham Hearld most of the recent growth in Fairhaven has been in Condos and apartments.

Fairhaven's percentage of growth in multifamily units has outpaced downtown. The data shows  Fairhaven has grown 83.8 percent, while in the Central Business District the growth rate has been 36.5 percent. Fairhaven is now more than 70 percent multifamily units compared to residential homes. The growth has all taken place in the commercial core. It has helped invigorate the historic shopping area, as well as driven an increased awareness by residents of planning issues.

Fairhaven will surely see some more condo's coming as there are plans on the drawing board and approved by the city for more units. Fairhaven Harbor is probably the largest of these projects proposed near the Padden Creek lagoon near Harris and 8th Street. My guess is that ground won't be broken on these until there is a turn around in the economy. There are other condos in the construction phase near Fairhaven above Boulevard Park with fantastic views.
