Named TL468, the development will add 90 new homes, reinvigorating another block of the Tenderloin and allowing the City’s workforce to live where they work. The residential units are designed per the guiding principles of environmental sustainability, affordability and quality, achieving zero-net energy and Zeronet carbon standards in all its developments while achieving attainable rent prices. New updated plans have been revealed, where the project went from a nine-story building offering 101 units to an eight-story building offering 90 units.
Forges Development celebrates its second group housing project in San Francisco’s Tenderloin with a $60 million investment. A press released shared with SFYIMBY states that Forge will be partnering with Mayor London Breed’s Office and permitting departments. The press release also shares Mayor Breed’s speech at the Grand Opening of Forge’s TL Residences, which brought 240 units of housing to the Tenderloin neighborhood. Mayor Breed stated, “I want everyone to understand the need for us to work together collaboratively with developers, with community-based organizations, with people who live in San Francisco and are the beneficiaries of housing. We have to work together to get to a better place so that people have more places to live in San Francisco.”
The updated project proposal includes the construction of an eight-story residential building including 90 state-of-the-art 250 square foot units designed to sleep up to two individuals. Each residential unit features state-of-the-art private bathrooms and high-tech cooking facilities.

For zero net energy sustainability, Forge has partnered with PG&E to deliver the single meter system for TL361 Residences. Through this special partnership, 468 Turk Street will be the second Forge multifamily housing project in San Francisco with only one PG&E electrical meter, saving approximately $50,000 per unit and allowing a renewable energy service and lower energy costs for residents. Internet of Things technology will be incorporated throughout the building to manage the building heating and cooling system, lighting, appliances and even the door locks helping Forge achieve its zero-net energy and zero-net carbon goals that drive operating costs down – a savings that is passed on to the renters.
The building implements sustainable designs reducing energy and water usage throughout the project. Architectural designs provide optimum solutions for the project; use of heavy timber construction–one of the first multifamily buildings in San Francisco to do so–and specially designed furniture that provides all the comforts of a tradition home by allowing the main spaces in the units to seamlessly transition from bedroom to living room to dining room throughout the day to meet resident needs. Onsite amenities include a common area kitchen and a rooftop deck that will provide residents with larger spaces for entertaining and building community.
Construction in anticipated to begin by mid- 2024. The project site is located on the border with the Civic Center neighborhood. Residents will be seven minutes from the Civic Center BART station, and six minutes from City Hall.

What SF needs is safe, clean single occupancy room, similar to Ansonia residence clubs at 711 Post Street, when I moved to SF 50 years ago I lived in the Ansonia for close to a year, the residence served breakfast and dinner. I only had found memory.
What nonsensical aspect of San Francisco policy caused us to lose a floor and 11 residences?
Could have been due to construction costs.
“ in a sustainable development that will enrich the Tenderloin for years to come.”
Enrich it? How? What dumb marketing crap is that?
“ reinvigorating another block of the Tenderloin and allowing the City’s workforce to live where they work.”
I didn’t see anything in the article that said potential residents must work in the city.
Breed / Wiener endorsements should trigger automatic review for any SF project.
This isn’t reporting, what exactly is this, advertising? Promotion?
“Each residential unit features state-of-the-art private bathrooms and high-tech cooking facilities.” Like what?
“attainable rent prices.” HOW attainable? What % are for low-income set aside?
This is a press release and or puff piece.
This looks very cool. I live on the 300 block of Turk and like the improvements Forge is making in the area. Oh yes, this one is right beside the homeless shelter someone us planning to put in 3 empty store fronts at 418-422 Turk Street, which is getting great opposition (thank God) from the community. That area has seen a significant decrease in homelessness/drug dealings/problems as it used to be ground zero. We dont need to bring it back with a homeless shelter!
