Plaza Roberto Maestas Housing


Plaza Roberto Maestas-Beloved Community has 112 units of affordable housing, retail and office space, event space, seven early learning classrooms and a public plaza.

Shaped by neighbors and future residents, and designed to promote community interaction and environmental values, Plaza Roberto Maestas is a model standard for community-inspired, transit-oriented development in Seattle and around the country. Developed by El Centro de la Raza, this $45M development is a mixed-use affordable housing community planned in response to growing needs – specifically, a critical need for affordable housing, economic opportunities and job creation, early childhood development and education, and community gathering spaces.

Plaza Roberto Maestas is a 112-unit community inspired, transit-oriented affordable housing development completed in the summer of 2016.

Under the Tax Credit Program, the units are rent- and income-limited. Follow the link to learn more about the program http://wshfc.org/index.htm.
