Ciudad Verde is a project built on the principles of community, environmental harmony, and sustainability. Designed as an archipelago of interconnected islands, it will feature vast green corridors fully equipped to provide an efficient and high-quality lifestyle for its residents.
Located in Quito, the development will cover approximately 900 hectares, of which 700 hectares will be preserved as green spaces.
This will be a comprehensive urban project comprising 32,000 homes, surrounded by nature while also featuring health centers, commercial areas, educational institutions, security infrastructure, recreational areas, transportation networks, productive zones, green corridors, and community spaces.
The project will be divided into five interconnected zones:

This area will house a significant portion of the city’s green space, surrounded by forests, trekking paths, and cycling routes, making it an ideal setting for outdoor activities.
Zone 2 (4,700 homes)
A dedicated sports and recreation hub, featuring facilities for soccer, basketball, athletics, and more.

These areas will offer affordable and accessible housing, featuring an innovative and unique social housing system that optimizes space without compromising quality of life.
