The road ahead The present and future create a very interesting outlook for Etinar , as several projects are due for completion before 2018 comes to an end , such as the medical centre building in Avenida del Bombero ( Guayaquil ). The first of the four Ágora towers will be completed and construction of the second tower will begin , as well as planning for the tower destined to become an hotel . Other projects to begin construction in 2018 include the shopping centre located inside the Terranostra housing complex , and also a large part of the Portonovo project is to be completed in the city of Portoviejo . Further down the pipeline are other high-profile projects for Etinar . One of them is the middle-class housing project in San José , near the Spondylus scenic route . Another very important project is related to the Daular Airport , in Chongon – this will actually become Guayaquil ’ s new airport , making the hotel inside the Terranostra complex a key project , due to its proximity to the new airport ’ s site . “ As soon as we find out construction for the new airport has begun , we will start planning on the hotel and its promotion ,” Jouvin comments .
The company ’ s top priority for the upcoming decade will be developing its own projects to generate income , easing the company ’ s subsistence during economic slumps .
“ During these 10 years we want to make a better use of our infrastructure and building ability by developing projects which will allow us to retain a rental share , beginning to earn income in a line different from our core business ,” Jouvin concludes .
