Morocco is building upwards. Where apartment blocks rarely rose above a few floors, real residential towers are now appearing, with pools, concierge services and sea views. Tangier leads the way. Here are the main projects, and what you need to know before buying high up.
Tangier: a new skyline on the bay
Cap Towers: seven towers on the corniche
Cap Towers is Tangier’s largest tower project. It stands on Boulevard Mohammed VI, on the former Docks site, facing the bay.
- Layout: 7 residential towers of 24 floors with studios, 2 to 4-bedroom apartments, lofts, duplexes and penthouses, plus an 18-storey office tower, shops and a pedestrian esplanade.
- Facilities: a spa and gym in every tower, four lifts per tower and two levels of underground parking.
- Developers: Manafie Properties and Groupe Amanah.
- Price: from 2,900,000 DH.
Coral Towers: a tower residence in green surroundings
Coral Towers lies near the Bella Vista district, on the Malabata side, overlooking the Bay of Tangier.
- Layout: 7 towers in a gated, secure residence with 2 and 3-bedroom apartments of 55 to 125 m².
- Facilities: a landscaped park, several pools, an artificial lake and a shopping centre.
- Design: architect Mehdi Kabbaj with Japanese studio MORF.
- Developer: Groupe Amanah. Towers T1 and T2 are completed; tower T3 is under construction.
Bennis Towers: Elysium on Avenue Mohammed VI
Bennis Towers is a Tangier developer. With Elysium on Avenue Mohammed VI, it combines apartments, offices and shops at a prestige address on the bay. Its earlier projects include Leonore, Dar Al Bacha and Résidence Bennis D.
Not to be confused with Groupe Immobilier Bennis, another Tangier developer known for the Majorelle residences and Les Résidences Vertes Majorelle.
Casablanca: CFC and Casa Anfa
Around Casablanca Finance City (CFC), on the former Anfa airport, a new district of residential towers has emerged next to office towers and Anfa Park. One example is Altea Residences by Abdalass Immobilier: studios to penthouses in a striking building with a rooftop infinity pool.
On the coast too, around the Casablanca Marina near the Hassan II Mosque, residential towers offer sea views.
Rabat: the Mohammed VI Tower
At 250 metres and 55 floors, the Mohammed VI Tower is Morocco’s tallest tower. It stands in the Bouregreg valley between Rabat and Salé and was inaugurated in April 2026 by Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan. It houses offices, North Africa’s first Waldorf Astoria hotel and a limited number of luxury apartments. A unique prestige product, not aimed at the average buyer.

Living in a tower: pros and cons
| Pros | Cons | |
|---|---|---|
| View | Open views of the sea or city, lots of light | Lower floors see less |
| Security | Controlled access, 24/7 security | Depends on lifts and good management |
| Comfort | Pool, gym, sometimes concierge or hotel services | Higher service charges |
| Letting | Popular with business travellers and short stays | Building rules may restrict short-term lets |
| Resale | Prestige product in a good location | Smaller buyer pool, depends on the building’s condition |
Five things to check before you buy
- Service charges: lifts, façade maintenance and security cost more in a tower. Ask for the amount in writing.
- Management: who will be the syndic? A tower needs professional management.
- Lifts and backup power: how many lifts are there, and what happens during a power cut?
- Fire safety: escape routes, sprinklers and fire stairs should be in the technical specification.
- Phase and handover: large complexes like Cap Towers and Coral Towers are built in phases. Ask which phase you are buying in and when it will be completed.
Frequently asked questions
Which city has the most residential towers?
Casablanca, mainly around CFC and the Marina. But Tangier is catching up fast with Cap Towers and Coral Towers on the bay.
What is the tallest tower in Morocco?
The Mohammed VI Tower between Rabat and Salé. At 250 metres it is the country’s tallest tower, and it also includes luxury apartments.
Is an apartment in a tower a good investment?
It depends on the location and management. A tower by the sea, near a station or in a business district lets well. Do factor the higher service charges into your yield.
