Lombard Plaza is part of First and Lombard, an innovative partnership by two developers with individual projects providing housing at variety of income levels and mixed-use retail opportunities. The two buildings on a full-block site in the Old Town district of Beaverton's core are envisioned to serve as a catalyst for downtown living, promoting respectful development for the urban lifestyle in the City of Beaverton. The buildings will be oriented to work together to define the block, held close to the sidewalk with parking tucked away from view. A pedestrian plaza serves as an outdoor gathering space and transition between the two buildings off of Lombard Avenue, encouraging the use of transit.  The smaller South building with affordable housing is arranged toward the corner at Second and Lombard with community space at the ground floor level. 
The larger North building, Lombard Plaza, brings a commercial component to the site focused towards the busy intersection at Lombard and Farmington where visible retail will draw people in.  The 5-story 47,000 square foot building will also provide 44 apartments targeted to the local work force in a mix of one- and two-bedroom units. The first level will contain a variety of retail spaces for shops or small restaurants, and a lobby entrance for the apartments above.  In addition to providing active retail spaces at the street level, resident support areas are provided throughout, including an outdoor patio and gathering space on the top floor. Building forms expressed with ample glazing, massing arrangements to provide visual interest, and materials which respect both the existing and developing urban fabric.
