About this home
A standout redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Historic Fairhaven—where vision meets a major head start. Formerly the Fairhaven American Legion Hall, this substantial downtown property is positioned for its next chapter with an approved building permit and architectural plans for conversion of the existing reception hall into a 12-unit apartment complex. For a developer or investor, the groundwork already completed creates an exciting opportunity to move forward with a defined residential concept while unlocking the value of a distinctive landmark property. Three existing commercial storefronts further enhance the possibilities, offering the potential for multiple income streams and a dynamic mixed-use investment under one roof. The two-story brick building commands a prominent presence near Fairhaven's historic center, waterfront, Route 6 and New Bedford. With residential plans, permitting and commercial space already in the equation, this is far more than a building—it's an opportunity to transform an established downtown property into a compelling income-producing asset and bring an exciting redevelopment project to life.
