A long-shuttered nightclub space in Old Town might get new life as a Beaverton businessman looks to help boost the vibrancy of the block.

Alex Guerra, who owns a restoration and construction business, has big plans for a nearly 7,000-square-foot vacant storefront at 115 N.W. 1st Ave.

Guerra is planning Azul Kitchen & Bar, where he envisions lunch and dinner hours. On the weekends, he wants the space to host nightlife entertainment after dinner hours.

He is finalizing the lease on the space and has started the process for a liquor license. If everything goes as planned, he hopes to open in mid-August.
