Quicentro Shopping Wins Silver at ICSC Centerbuild
Design 3 International is proud to announce that Quicentro Shopping Wins Silver at the ICSC CenterBuild Conference, receiving the prestigious ICSC Global Design and Development Award in the Renovations/Expansions Retail category. This honor, presented on 5 December 2024 in Phoenix, celebrates the innovative design and thoughtful planning that transformed Quicentro Shopping into a sustainable, modern retail destination.
Quicentro Shopping’s Silver Award at ICSC CenterBuild recognizes its remarkable evolution into a state-of-the-art retail and entertainment hub in Quito, Ecuador. Spanning an impressive 1,499,729 sq. ft. GBA, the project added 460,237 sq. ft. of space, including Ecuador’s first H&M, alongside Zara, Under Armour, Old Navy, and other global brands. Enhanced outdoor dining terraces, modernized façades along Naciones Unidas Boulevard, and expanded public spaces create a vibrant and inviting atmosphere for shoppers and visitors.
The project was executed in two distinct phases. Phase one focused on constructing a five-story building featuring high-end retail stores, a food court, a cinema, a fitness club, and five levels of underground parking. Phase two expanded the existing shopping center structure to include more international brands, a larger food court, additional dining terraces, and new public spaces, all designed to enhance the community experience.
The project earned Quicentro Shopping’s Silver Award at ICSC CenterBuild for its sustainable practices and innovative design features. The use of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows introduces abundant natural light, blending modern aesthetics with environmental responsibility. The inclusion of lush greenery and clean architectural lines enhances both the functionality and appeal of the center.
We extend our congratulations and sincere thanks to our clients—Urbanizadora Naciones Unidas, Corporación DK, and Ekron Construcciones—for their trust and collaboration. Their vision has been integral to making this transformative project a reality.
Quicentro Shopping now stands as a benchmark for retail excellence in South America, offering a dynamic mix of shopping, dining, and expanded public spaces. This award underscores the value of thoughtful, sustainable design in shaping the future of retail.
Thank you to our clients and the talented team at Design 3 International for bringing this award-winning project to life.
