10 Real Estate Deals Poised to Remake the Tenderloin

 

The San Francisco Examiner used to call the Tenderloin “hell at your doorstep,” but despite the bad rap and funky condition of the sidewalks, it’s one of San Francisco’s greatest neighborhoods. It’s also a longtime holdout against major development or redevelopment, even as the tech sector spreads through its southern-lying little brother neighborhood, Mid-Market.

Still, today’s news that Reddit is leasing space on Taylor Street is the latest sign that  the 30 blocks east of Van Ness are not immune to market realities. Will everything change? Do we want it to? Or will the Tenderloin simply stay the Tenderloin? Here are ten deals primed to help decide what kind of Tenderloin San Francisco will see in the future.

 

3 145 Leavenworth

This micro-unit building (apartments will range from 250-450 square feet) was approved last summer but has been delayed because developer Forge Land Company wants it to be a prefab building. What’s more, a few new technical tricks have to be developed to create a seven-story building prefab style. They estimate that construction will begin within six months, and promise it will be one of the quickest builds in city history.
