Developers and architects are launching a project they say will transform a part of Northeast Portland from a commuter destination to a round-the-clockneighborhood.

San Diego-based American Asset Trust is breaking ground on a four-block project anchored by more than 650 units of housing. The company is working with Portlands GBDArchitects.

Architect Kyle Anderson said the goal is to put housing and a grocery store into the LloydDistrict.

But also to reinvigorate this neighborhood to become a community, he said. Its not intended to be another Pearl District or South Waterfront, but merely an extension of the existing neighborhoods that is, and was, in thepast.

The project has high environmentalgoals.
