With deep sorrow, we join the dear Castellanos Family in mourning the loss of Mr. Rafael Castellanos, who passed away on January 6, 2025.

Mr. Rafael, together with his beloved wife, Mrs. Elda Castellanos, who departed last year, left an invaluable legacy in our community as the owners of the iconic Restaurant El comal , a place that not only served food but also warmth, stories, and unforgettable moments.

Today, we imagine them reunited in eternal rest, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing them. Their lives were a testament to hard work, love, and dedication to both their family and their community.

We extend our heartfelt condolences and a warm embrace to their famoly during this time of profound sorrow. May they find comfort in the love and memories that will forever live on.

May God grant them eternal rest and heavenly peace.
Rest in peace, Mr. Rafael and Mrs. Elda Castellanos.

Nos unimos a la pena que embarga a la FAMILIA CASTELLANOS, por el sensible fallecimiento del SR. RAFAEL CASTELLANOS, quien falleció hoy 6 de enero de 2025.

Hoy ya se encuentra al lado de su entrañable esposa, la Sra. Elda Castellanos, quien falleció el año pasado; quienes eran propietarios del emblemático Restaurant El Comal.

Dios los tenga en su gloria y les dé el descanso eterno.

Un abrazo a su hija Ingrid y a nuestro buen amigo Frederick Felicano por esta perdida.

As we welcome the New Year, we want to take a moment to share a personal note from us. First and foremost, we’re wishing a prosperous and exciting year ahead for all our partners!

2024 was a year of tremendous growth for AGI Construction and Detroit Future Ops, highlighted by the highly anticipated grand launch of our community-driven development: The Design-Build Green Hub! 🏡🎉

We also saw incredible success with the DFO313 Real Talk series sponsored by New Economy Initiative, where your support demonstrated the importance of creating and holding space for Detroit’s minority contractors and professionals in the Design-Build ecosystem. Together, we tackled hard discussions about real barriers and shared practical solutions, but most importantly we forged trusted releshionships that also created tangible opportunities. We wrapped up the year on a high note in partnership with ProsperUs Detroit, celebrating the success of our Contractor Pilot Program.
Congratulations to our first official cohort! We are excited to continue to work with you one on one. 🏗

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be sharing even more in our 2024 Annual Report, as well as new opportunities and future goals at our Real Talk 2025 event coming in February. Stay tuned for the details, exciting updates and more ways to get involved as we continue to build capacity for contractors and create lasting change in Detroit’s development scene!
