About Ciudad del Río

Ciudad del Río is a planned upscale enclave on the Guayas riverbank near the MAAC museum and the southern stretch of the Malecón. Built around modern high-rise condominiums with amenities and security, it offers a central yet polished alternative to suburban Samborondón, attracting professionals, expats and downsizing families who want river views and walkable culture. The investment case combines central location with modern stock. Condos trade around $1,350–$1,650/m², with units from roughly $90,000 to $220,000, renting to professionals at 6.5–7.5% gross yields. Proximity to museums, the riverfront and the financial core supports durable demand and 3–4% appreciation. Ownership is fully open to foreigners under personal or corporate title in Ecuador's dollarized market, and qualifying purchases support the investor-residency visa.
