González Suárez

González Suárez is Quito's blue-chip residential address, a ridge-top avenue of upscale high-rise apartments looking out over the Guápulo gorge toward the eastern valleys and Pichincha. It is dense with embassies, fine dining, cafés and the kind of large, secure, view-blessed apartments that diplomats, NGO officials and multinational executives compete to rent. That tenant base drives the investment thesis: premium modern apartments command Quito's top rents and trade around $1,500–$2,000/m², with units from roughly $180,000 to $450,000. Gross yields run a solid 6–7% on upscale stock, strong for the prestige tier, with stable 3–5% appreciation. Foreign buyers face no ownership restrictions in this fully dollarized market, and purchases easily clear the $48,200 investor-visa threshold.
