Congrats to El Centro de la Raza, Walsh Construction Co., and the entire Four Amigos team on the successful completion of this project!
Our Walsh team has officially completed work at the vibrant Four Amigos Beloved Community in the heart of Seattle’s Columbia City neighborhood. This six-story, U-shaped building will significantly benefit the south Seattle community by providing 87 affordable family-size homes, affordable bilingual childcare services provided by El Centro de la Raza, and a new 2,600 square-foot home for the Church of Hope. The building’s design embodies El Centro de la Raza's vision to address the needs of the families they support, featuring a central outdoor play area, efficient space utilization, and elements representing the Afro-Latinx community through vibrant colors, hand-painted tile murals, and sculptures. A huge shoutout to our great team of Sandi Tovias, Joe Geise, BJ Graham, Jesus Montiel, Anthony Sherman, and Wendy Kato for delivering this project safely and to the highest level of quality!

That courtyard and facade look spectacular!! Incredible work SMR Architects and Walsh Construction Co. 👏
I have enjoyed seeing how El Centro de la Raza has evolved. El Centro de la Raza was my family’s food source in 1992 when food banks weren’t a community staple. Having the late Roberto M. deliver a speech to my Shorewood HS on the importance of volunteering and community engagement made a lasting impression. El Centro de la Raza was my 2nd home growing up.
