Avenue Royale Project Update: From Demolitions to Preparatory Works
The Avenue Royale project in Casablanca is moving into a critical phase following the completion of demolitions and expropriations. The Casablanca Iskane et Équipements (CIE) company has announced an open tender for preparatory works and site clean-up, which is essential for the future urban axis development. This project, valued at 8.8 million Moroccan dirhams (MDH), aims to prepare the land for subsequent construction operations. Interested contractors have until July 29, 2026, to submit their bids, marking an important deadline in the project's timeline.
This initiative is part of a larger urban redevelopment effort that has already seen significant progress. According to previous reports from medias24.com, demolition activities and expropriation procedures have affected several areas within the former medina, covering approximately 17.25 hectares and costing about 78.2 million dirhams. Alongside these activities, a comprehensive resettlement program is underway in the Nassim area, which plans to provide over 16,550 apartments for the displaced households.
As the preparatory works and site cleaning commence, this phase signals a significant operational shift for the Avenue Royale project, which is not only pivotal for the local community but also aligns with Morocco's preparations for the 2030 World Cup. The aim is to enhance the urban landscape, linking the city center to the iconic Hassan II Mosque while ensuring that the needs of the local population are met during this transformative period.
