Centro Comercial Iñaquito CCI

What Centro Comercial Iñaquito CCI does

Centro Comercial Iñaquito (CCI) is a privately held shopping mall located in Quito, Ecuador, established in 1971 as the first shopping mall in South America. The mall operates as a physical retail and entertainment complex comprising 164 commercial establishments, including clothing stores, electronics retailers, restaurants, entertainment venues, banking services, and a Supermaxi supermarket. CCI is structured as a landlord-tenant model, generating revenue through commercial leases with its diverse tenant base, supplemented by parking fees and ancillary services tied to approximately 1.2 million monthly visitor visits. The mall is strategically located in Quito's central-northern financial district at Avenida Amazonas N36-152 y Naciones Unidas.

CCI differentiates itself through proprietary entertainment and lifestyle sub-brands including Multicines (cinema complex), Fitness CCI (fitness center), Club Gastro CCI (gastronomic club with culinary workshops), and El Teatro CCI (theater venue). These in-house offerings drive foot traffic and complement the third-party retail tenant mix. The company has pursued sustainability initiatives including 30% solar-powered communal areas, an on-site wastewater treatment plant processing approximately 9,000 liters daily, food court waste reduction of 80%, and has earned the ESR (Empresa Socialmente Responsable) certification. The company employs 29 staff in its corporate/management function and markets through Facebook, Instagram, email newsletters, and its website (cci.com.ec).
