bobruss Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Here's a shot from Thursday. I don't think they could get me to do this! I just happened to be at the light and took a quick pic with my phone from inside the car. Sorry about quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then they'll probably cover up the yellow insulating material. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The lifeless ground level has always been disappointing to me, but other than that this one is alright. It's certainly better than what was there before. I honestly don't get the towers/turrets, but whatever. I will agree that they choose some nice brick. It certainly complements the area. Also holy crap are they blazing through with building those townhomes across the street! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucleareaction Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 La Tapatia holds on, but there are no other tennants in the strip facing Richmond. I wonder how much longer it has to go, or why the owner is bothering to hold onto it anymore. I don't see how anything can be done with that location, and it doesn't mesh at all with what Richmond & the neighborhood (I live down the street from this project!) is becoming.

jordangauger Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I have lived at the Fairmont for years now, they said that Phase III is on hold due to the steel tariffs, they own both of the small properties behind however, and contract a company to manage them. Not sure about La Tapatia. Phase III will be a Hanover-style high rise tower with full service amenities. Edited January 31, 2019 by jordangauger Add details. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Nooo, not my La Tapatia. I go there on a regular basis. Not the best Mexican food but its ok at their price point. Edited February 20, 2022 by hindesky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechlin Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Quote The developers behind the Fairmont Museum District apartments in Montrose could break ground on a new phase later this year at 4343 Woodhead St., a filing shows. Work on a project called Fairmont Museum District III is slated to begin Sept. 1, according to a document on Texas' licensing and regulation website. The scope of work describes it as a 302-unit development with nine stories of apartments above a three-story garage. The leasing office will be on the ground floor, while amenities are planned for the fourth and 12th floors. The filing lists Houston-based Steinberg Dickey Collaborative as the design firm. County appraisal records show the tract of land belongs to the entity Woodhead Development LLC, which bought the land in May 2018. In 2019, the land was appraised at $7.89 million. That entity is linked to Josef Marom, according to the Texas comptroller site. Requests for comment from Marom via the number listed on the state filing weren’t immediately returned. In 2003, the Houston Business Journal reported Marom offered the Houston Independent School District $2.6 million for a 3-acre tract at 4310 Dunlavy, the same address for the Fairmont Museum District apartments currently on the ground. That tract sits next to the land earmarked for the third phase. Meanwhile, the Montrose submarket is the busiest area for proposed apartment projects, with 11, according to data as of Dec. 18 compiled by Houston-based ApartmentData.com. The research site tallied up 93 proposed communities across Houston. A March report from the site counts 61 communities, or 18,203 units, currently under construction. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not part of it, just the two small garden apartments and the abandoned street between them. I'm sure eventually that strip center will be bought by a developer and fixed up.

wilcal Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Another development that could potentially take advantage of the opt-in Transit Oriented Development standards. Edit: my star is a little off. It should be shifted to the left part of the block, but still would apply if they go onto Richmond frontage. If they opt-in, they would get a 50% reduction in the parking minimum requirement and they would have to follow some streetscape design guidelines. See the back half of this PDF if you want a refresher https://houstontx.gov/planning/docs_pdfs/User's Guide for WP and TOD report_2020-10-01.pdf Edited June 10, 2021 by wilcal 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It looks like Woodhead frontage will work too. It will be very interesting to see if the developer opts in. My head says they won't, but my heart says they will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My head says they won't, but my heart says they will. Agreed. Honestly, I wish they would just follow the streetscape guidelines and just build a slight reduction in parking just so I can have a project to point at, but I'm not really holding my breath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Phase 1 is the building on the right, and Phase 2 was the building on the left (closest to Richmond). Google Earth history shows the one on the left was built after the initial building and they have slightly different styles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
