According to Hespress.com news site, this emblematic site
will be built by the Belgium-based company Besix Group and its
subsidiary Six Construct along with Morocco’s leading construction
company TGCC. The construction of the Bank of Africa Tower in Morocco, set to
become Africa’s tallest skyscraper, will start on November 1, local
media reported on Friday.
“The tower will consist of 55 floors and a luxury hotel, offices and apartments,’’ Hespress.com news site said.
The tower will be the highlight of a large-scale project to develop the
Bouregreg valley in Rabat, a key component of the 2014 to 2018
Integrated Development Programme dubbed “Rabat, City of Light, Moroccan
Cultural Capital.’’
The project also involves the construction of several innovative
facilities, including the Grand Theater of Rabat, the Arts and Culture
House, the National Archives of the Kingdom of Morocco and the
Archaeological Museum.
Although Africa is not generally known for its abundance of
skyscrapers, the number of tall buildings on this continent has been
growing significantly over the last few decades.
