The Conocoto area, located 11 kilometers from downtown Quito, is undergoing significant commercial development with the construction of the Spring Garden Plaza shopping center. This new center is part of a broader initiative to improve the local economy and infrastructure in this growing metropolitan district of Ecuador. The construction is being managed by GSZ Construcciones, which has a history of developing commercial and housing projects in the region.

Conocoto, known for its warm climate and growing population, had around 240,000 residents in 2025, indicating a robust market for new commercial ventures. The shopping center aims to cater to the local community’s increasing demand for diverse retail options and services. With its strategic location on the eastern slope of the Puengasí hill, the plaza is expected to attract shoppers not only from Conocoto but also from surrounding areas, contributing to regional economic growth.

In addition to Spring Garden Plaza, the expansion of San Luis Shopping also promises to enhance the shopping experience and provide more employment opportunities. These developments signal a positive shift in Conocoto's economic landscape, positioning it as a key player in the metropolitan area’s retail sector. As local businesses prepare for increased competition and foot traffic, residents can look forward to improved amenities and services.
