The Tour Mohammed VI, a prominent skyscraper under construction in the Bouregreg Valley of Rabat, Morocco, is a flagship project intended to symbolize the nation's modern economic and urban ambitions. Upon completion, the tower is designed to stand at approximately 250 meters tall with 55 floors, making it one of the tallest buildings in Africa.
The mixed-use tower is a central component of the larger "Rabat City Center" development, a partnership between Moroccan and international investors. It is planned to house luxury apartments, a five-star hotel, office spaces, and commercial areas, aiming to become a new business and lifestyle hub for the capital.
Construction, led by the Moroccan company TGCC (Travaux Généraux de Construction de Casablanca) in consortium with the Egyptian group Arab Contractors, has faced significant delays since its launch over a decade ago. Recent reports and imagery from early 2026 indicate the exterior cladding is largely complete, with interior finishing works ongoing. The project's total cost is estimated to be several billion Moroccan dirhams.
The tower's design, by the French architectural firm AREP, features a sleek, tapered form intended to evoke the shape of a minaret or a sail, incorporating elements of Moroccan architectural heritage within a contemporary glass and steel structure. Its development is closely associated with the vision of King Mohammed VI for transforming Rabat into a modern, competitive capital.
