Morocco has taken a bold step in its drive to elevate its global profile with the $700 million Mohammed VI Tower, a striking 55-storey structure designed to reflect the country’s modern ambitions.
According to ndependent.co.uk, the 820-foot Mohammed VI Tower, named after Mohammed VI and inspired by a rocket on its launchpad, will house a luxury Waldorf Astoria, alongside offices, retail outlets, restaurants, and high-end residential apartments.
The tower, among Africa’s tallest skyscrapers, is expected to generate 450 direct jobs and 3,500 indirect ones, Leila Haddaoui, director of development company O Tower, said.
It stands in Salé, the twin city of the capital, Rabat, and was built over eight years with more than 2,500 workers from over a dozen countries.
The tower, which has already appeared on Morocco’s 200-dirham (about $20) banknote, stands near the Grand Theatre of Rabat, designed by the late Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, and offers views of the Atlantic Ocean and the twin cities.
