Architecture and Development in PDX
A two story concert and event venue at Lloyd Center is currently under construction after receiving approval from the design commission in 2024. The proposed venue, with a flexible capacity for 2,000 to 4,250 attendees, is approximately 67,000 square feet in size and will include the main event space, a mezzanine, as well as supporting spaces. The building is designed by Works Progress Architecture and co-developed by Monqui Presents and AEG Presents.
The Design Commission has approved the 100 Multnomah office building, designed by ZGF Architects for Prosper Portland. The project is an addition to the nearly complete parking garage, built to serve the Hyatt Regency at the Oregon Convention Center. The 9-story addition will include approximately 120,000 sq ft of office space on the northern of the site. While the structure of the garage was designed to accommodate up to 2 additional level of parking, no additional parking spaces are proposed beyond those already built.
A revised concept for a theater addition to the Lloyd Center has been presented to the Design Commission. The proposal would include the construction of a new 70,000 sq ft theater building with 13 screens. The existing 145,000 sq ft east anchor building, most recently occupied by Sears, would be renovated for office use. The project is being designed by LDA Design Group of Burbank, California, with landscape architects 505 Design.
The Design Commission has approved a remodel and expansion of the Lloyd Center West Anchor building and plaza, designed by Waterleaf Architecture, 505 Design and Greenworks. The former Nordstrom building will be renovated for the use of multiple tenants, with a new floor added for a music venue operated by Live Nation.
