Construction begins on Ecuador’s first skyscraper

The development of Ecuador’s inaugural skyscraper and Guayaquil’s tallest building, known as “Maxximus Guayaquil City Center,” has begun.

Guayaquil is the second largest city in Ecuador and also the nation’s economic capital and main port.

The foundation stone was laid on Wednesday (July 12), marking the commencement of the 50-story structure located next to “The Point” in Puerto Santa Ana.

The real estate developers, Pronobis and Millenium, have strategically partnered to undertake this project, which is expected to generate over US$150 million in financial revenues, create 520 direct jobs, and 2,080 indirect jobs.

The construction investment for this 170-meter-high building amounts to approximately US$128 million.

Millennium, a Campana organization renowned for its diverse investments across multiple economic sectors, has an impressive portfolio of successfully executed projects.

This includes Quo Luxury, Solaris de Guayaquil, Platinum I and II, Torre Millennium, Titanium I and II, Millennium Village, Grand Bay Manta, and most recently, Maxximus Guayaquil City Center.
