Google just released Android 5.0 Lollipop factory image for Nexus 4. The OTA (over-the-air) update will take some times to reach your phone, however, if you cannot wait for the OTA update, you can download the Lollipop factory image and binaries for Nexus 4 (firmware build LRX21T) and install it manually via fastboot.
If you would like to update your Nexus 4 to official Android 5.0 Lollipop (Build: LRX21T) manually, here is an easy to follow guide. However, keep in mind that, installing the factory image will wipe everything on your phone, so before flashing the firmware, backup any important files (contacts, SMS, etc.)
