Spanish media outlet Servimedia: Mohammed VI Tower is the new symbol of Moroccan modernity
The Mohammed VI Tower, one of the tallest skyscrapers in Africa, has now established itself as a symbol of the Kingdom’s modernity and a major architectural landmark, Spanish media outlet Servimedia wrote on Monday.
In an article titled Mohammed VI Tower, Morocco’s new urban icon and architectural reference, the publication highlighted how the emblematic structure is reshaping the skyline of the capital Rabat and its twin city Salé.
Completed after nearly eight years of construction, the large-scale project forms part of the strategic development of the Bouregreg Valley. It is the result of a collaboration between Spanish architect Rafael de La-Hoz and Moroccan architect Hakim Benjelloun, the source noted.
Rising over 55 floors and covering more than 102,800 square meters, the Mohammed VI Tower is a multifunctional complex that includes office spaces, upscale residences, exhibition areas and a luxury hotel, Servimedia added.
The project was built by a consortium bringing together Belgian group BESIX and Moroccan company TGCC. From an environmental standpoint, the skyscraper integrates high-efficiency energy solutions, including a façade equipped with around 3,900 square meters of photovoltaic panels.
According to the Spanish outlet, the interior design combines noble materials with Moroccan craftsmanship, while also embracing a strong cultural dimension through nearly 7,000 works created by more than 140 artists.
The building also includes spaces dedicated to heritage promotion, including an observatory offering augmented reality experiences focused on Rabat and Salé.
Located between the Grand Theatre of Rabat and the Al Boraq high-speed rail line, the Mohammed VI Tower stands as a centerpiece of the Bouregreg Valley development project and a driver of Morocco’s international influence, the publication concluded.
