A tower in the Casablanca skyline

Operating in Morroco since 1978, Bouygues Construction won a new landmark project in Casablanca, the economic and business center of the country. Casablanca Finance City Authority, the corporate structure leading the development of Casablanca’s new business district, awarded to Bymaro the contract to build its new head office, 122-metre high skyscraper.

Designed by Morphosis Architects, this elegant and futuristic tower will be located on the site of Casa Anfa, the former Anfa airport, and will be at the heart of the international finance district occupying 320 hectares and boasting more than one million square metres of office space.

Casa Finance City (CFC) is a 122-metre high skyscraper comprising 25 storeys, a mezzanine and 6 levels of underground parking, delivering a total surface area of 21,000 m². Ultramodern, bright and spectacular in design, the CFC tower is destined to become the nerve centre of African regional business and finance.

With its deconstructivist geometry, the tower exhibits a multifaceted design of rhythm and rupture, with a functional “brise soleil” system on the façades. This system cloaks the entire building, protecting it from the heat and glare of the sun while ensuring a breathtaking panoramic view from the inside.

The CFC project has been designed with a view to securing an international environmental certification thanks to the use of thermal inertia of the floors, whereby heat and cold are stored for subsequent release, as required. The building is due to be delivered in 2017.
