The brief for the development had originally asked for 12 residential towers, but was later modified as the London-based architect proposed a low-rise design, with 981 units along three sides of the rectangular site.
At present, the development is to sit at the south-east part of the city, in the Huajuco canyon.
Esfera city centre will offer essential new homes for the city’s fast-growing population.
