Guayas · Puerto Santa Ana / Guayas riverfront

The Hills

Six residential towers rise around a planted landscape beside the Guayas River. Designed by MVRDV for Uribe Schwarzkopf, The Hills brings curved balconies, shared outdoor spaces and a pedestrian route into a large waterfront development. The towers face inward towards a terraced garden above the mixed-use base. Their deeper balconies are designed to provide shade and space for planting in Guayaquil’s warm climate. The architect describes heights of approximately 92–143 metres; the developer separately advertises a maximum of 145 metres.
