Kengo Kuma & Associates has unveiled plans for Qapital, a 32-story mixed-use tower set to rise in Quito, Ecuador, in collaboration with local developer Uribe Schwarzkopf. Scheduled for completion in 2029, the project marks Japanese architect Kengo Kuma‘s first work in the country, extending the studio’s international portfolio into the South American context. Located opposite La Carolina Park in Quito’s central business district, the 125.8-meter tower introduces a vertically organized program that brings together residential, commercial, and shared amenities.
