On May 8, 2026, the Casablanca communal council voted to approve the redevelopment of the former slaughterhouse in the Hay Mohammadi district. The project aims to transform the abandoned site into a mixed-use space featuring cultural venues, commercial areas, and public gardens.
According to the council's statement, the redevelopment plan includes preserving the original industrial architecture of the abattoir while adding modern facilities. The project is part of a broader urban renewal strategy for the district, which has seen significant investment in recent years.
The council did not disclose the total budget or a specific timeline for completion, but officials indicated that construction could begin within the next 12 months. The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs during the construction phase and dozens of permanent positions once operational.
