Design is moving forward on the Vincent Apartments, with construction expected to begin this summer.

This seven-story, mixed-use development has an O-shaped layout with structured parking, townhomes, ground-floor commercial space, and apartment units organized around a central courtyard.

4EA is supporting the project with envelope design and energy code compliance modeling. We will continue our involvement through construction.

Always happy to be part of a project that adds housing and vibrancy to Northgate!

It also feels exciting and strange to be designing this project for the site of our first office space. We occupied suites on the first and fourth floors of the Northgate Office Building from 2006 until 2016.

A great day in the field with one of the best views in Seattle. Definitely one of the perks of what we do! 👍

Last week, we hosted our 2025 summer BBQ with all three of our offices coming together from Oakland, Seattle, and Vancouver BC.

It was a great day spent with coworkers and families enjoying summer activities like kayaking, canoeing, and sharing some delicious food. It’s always a special moment when our teams have the chance to connect in person and spend time together outside of work.

Another successful project wrapped up in Yesler Terrace!

Located in Seattle’s Yesler Terrace neighborhood, this mid-rise development includes 345 units (with 26% designated as affordable housing!) across two wood-framed buildings over a Type I podium.

This project has some unique geometry and waterproofing considerations that made it especially exciting to work on. It’s also one of several developments we’ve contributed to in the growing Yesler community.
