The design vision was to create a new vibrant and modern marina in Casablanca for the local people and visitors alike and to reconnect a part of the city back to its ocean frontage. WATG created a place that embraces and celebrates the rich history and bright future of Casablanca. This was done by creating an animated marina edge which included a luxury hotel, boutique retail, cafes and restaurants. An iconic tower hotel anchors the project site and creates a visual reference to the rest of the city. This is connected to a convention centre which provides a dramatic and interactive backdrop to a new public square. A four star hotel provides a seamless connection with the adjacent retail centre. This new urban centre development will help propel Casablanca into the 21st century
