New renderings have been revealed for a nine-story group housing development at 468 Turk Street in the Tenderloin, San Francisco. The 102-foot structure will yield 36,860 square feet, of which 22,190 square feet is dedicated to residential use, and 3,200 square feet for shared living spaces. 2,230 square feet of open space will be available for residents at the basement level and the roof. Turk Street LLC is responsible for the development, with Maddern Construction hired as the contractor.

Macy Architecture is responsible for the design. The simplified facade takes from classical elements in the surrounding historic district, with a two-story stone-clad base, white stucco middle, and a streamlined lintel and cornice in the shape of a perpendicular metal slab. The face is punctuated by semi-spherical aluminum vent caps for air intake and exhaust.
