Exclusive Look: 41 Tehama Hits Construction Milestones

Construction at SoMa's 41 Tehama is underway, with the project hitting several milestones in recent days. Bisnow brought you the rendering back in September and now has an exclusive look at the progress being made on the 389k SF multifamily building.

The Lendlease project team recently reached the bottom of excavation, 55 feet down, clearing 1M cubic feet of soil. The 37-story project from Hines and Invesco Real Estate will have 403 units and eight penthouses, as well as 1,800 SF of ground-floor retail. The building is scheduled to deliver in 2017.

The 41 Tehama project is in the process of finishing up the shoring and excavation portions of the project and has begun pouring concrete for foundation work. Pouring the primary mat slab foundation is expected toward the end of the month.
