The Investment Rare Opportunity to Acquire Commercial Property in the Heart of Historic Fairhaven, with 9 Retail / Office Condos that Cash Flow and Promise Excellent Long-Term Appreciation Potential Historic, Ground Floor Commercial, in one of Fairhaven s Most Iconic Settings The Waldron was one of the original mixed-use properties built in Fairhaven before the turn of the century. Completely rebuilt in 2008 by Summit Construction, it s iconic brick, rock-faced masonry, and unique underground passageways were all maintained, and the building now lives on as one of Fairhaven s most beloved landmarks, with a historic property designation granted by the City of Bellingham. During renovation, the property was expanded, with the addition of the Young building. Together, these 2 mixed-use buildings house the 9 retail / office commercial condos on the lower levels, directly in the commercial core of Fairhaven, surrounded by the most affluent communities in Bellingham. The Waldron building was once home to the Bank of Fairhaven, a legacy carried on today by Heritage Bank, the property s primary anchor tenant.
