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.

Construction crews have gone vertical on a new 12-story multifamily building at 4343 Woodhead St. in Montrose.
The Houston Business Journal observed construction crews hard at work May 9 pouring concrete at the site for what will soon become a three-story parking garage, sitting beneath nine stories of apartment units. At least four concrete-mixing trucks arrived around midday as construction workers cleared the way for foundations and supporting columns to be poured.
Documents filed with the Texas Department of Regulation and Licensing say that the site at 4343 Woodhead will soon be home to a 302-unit multifamily development, dubbed Fairmont Museum District III.
While the TDLR documents provide scant details about what the project will entail, they say that the building will have first-floor office space and amenities on the fourth and 12th floors.
The project is scheduled to be completed in August 2024, according to TDLR.
The filing lists Houston-based Steinberg Dickey Collaborative as the design firm. A sign posted outside the construction site lists Davis Brothers Construction, which is also based in Houston, as the general contractor.
That remaining corner lot at Richmond and Woodhead that is now surrounded by Fairmont buildings is CRYING OUT to become Fairmont Museum District Phase IV a.k.a. the tall, skinny, signature building
