Construction on a new entertainment venue at the Lloyd Center is set to begin this summer.

Portland-based concert promoter Monqui Presents and global live entertainment company AEG Presents will begin construction on a 68,000-square-foot entertainment venue that can hold between 2,000 and 4,250 attendees in June at the site of the former Nordstrom building along Northeast Multnomah Street.

“The light at the end of the Lloyd venue tunnel just got a lot brighter and closer - it’s full speed ahead,” Monqui Presents Founder Mike Quinn said in a statement.
