Mohammed VI Tower

The tallest tower in Morocco
At 250 metres, the Mohammed VI Tower redefines Rabat’s skyline. Built by BESIX in joint venture with TGCC, this landmark combines advanced engineering with elegant design and meets the highest environmental standards.

Project overview

The Mohammed VI Tower is the centrepiece of the Bouregreg Valley Development Project, part of Rabat’s transformation into the “City of Light.” Visible from 50 kilometres away, its silhouette evokes a rocket on a launch pad. Inside, 55 floors host a luxury hotel, premium offices, high-end residences, and a panoramic observation deck, all served by 36 elevators. Every detail reflects resilience, sustainability, and architectural excellence.

Scope of works

BESIX and TGCC delivered a Design & Build contract, covering design, engineering, procurement, and construction, including structural works, façades, advanced systems, and premium finishes. BESIX Engineering Department developed solutions to resist seismic activity, strong winds, and flooding. The tower features a hybrid structure with a reinforced concrete core, steel porticos, deep foundations, and a tuned mass damper for stability.

The tower’s façade, designed by BESIX’s Façade Department, reduces solar heat gain and cooling energy. Spanning over 70,000 m², the façades integrate photovoltaic panels. Sustainability measures include rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, and energy recovery systems, ensuring LEED Gold and HQE certification.

Premium interiors

The Mohammed VI Tower offers a refined interior experience. FLAMANT, renowned for timeless design and craftsmanship, curated the Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) items for the most impressive podium levels of the tower, including the lobby entrance, the ballroom, the restaurants and the boardroom.
