New Real Estate Developments in Casablanca: Where the City Is Growing in 2026
Casablanca keeps expanding. New districts, waterfront projects and suburban communities are changing where people live and work. Buying off-plan or in a recent building can offer modern standards, parking and lower maintenance, but it requires extra checks. Here are the main growth zones to watch.
1. Casablanca Finance City and Anfa Park
Built on the former Anfa airport site, this district combines Morocco’s international financial hub, office towers, new residential buildings, Anfa Park and tram access. It attracts executives and investors looking for modern apartments near work. See our Casablanca Finance City real estate guide.
2. Casablanca Marina
Next to the port and close to the Hassan II Mosque, the Marina mixes apartments, offices, hotels and shops along the waterfront. It appeals to buyers who want sea views in the city center.
3. Wessal Casablanca-Port
This large redevelopment of the port area aims to reconnect the city with its seafront through public spaces, a cruise terminal and new urban areas. It is a long-term project that supports the value of nearby central neighborhoods.
4. Zenata Eco-City
Between Casablanca and Mohammedia, Zenata is a planned new town designed around green spaces, public transport and mixed housing. It targets families and buyers looking for more space at moderate prices.
5. Bouskoura and Its Gated Communities
South of the city, Bouskoura has grown with villa communities, golf projects and green residential neighborhoods. It is popular with families who want gardens within commuting distance.
6. Sidi Maarouf and the Office Parks
Around Casanearshore and the business parks, new apartment buildings meet demand from employees. Prices remain below central districts.
7. Dar Bouazza and the Southern Coast
Along the coast southwest of Casablanca, Dar Bouazza and Tamaris have seen many villa and apartment projects near the beaches. See our Dar Bouazza investment guide.
8. Ain Diab and the Corniche
Renewal along the Corniche keeps bringing new high-end residences with sea views.
9. Infrastructure That Moves Prices
- New tram and busway lines that shorten commutes
- Road upgrades to the southern suburbs
- Public spaces and parks such as Anfa Park
Properties within walking distance of new transport lines often rent and resell faster.
10. Checklist Before Buying Off-Plan
- Check the developer’s track record and completed projects.
- Ask for the building permit and the title of the land.
- Read the reservation contract (VEFA): payment schedule, delivery date, penalties for delay.
- Pay only according to construction progress, through official channels.
- Visit a completed project by the same developer.
