1. Casablanca in 2026 — the benchmark market
Casablanca is Morocco's economic capital — 38 % of national formal transactions and 28 % of national transaction value. Prices range from 8 000 MAD/sqm in peripheral Aïn Sebaâ to 28 000 MAD/sqm in premium Anfa Supérieur. Office space Class A at CFC (Casablanca Finance City) reaches 32 000 MAD/sqm.
This article decodes the 15 main districts in three price tiers: premium (18 000+ MAD/sqm), intermediate (10-15 000 MAD/sqm), and peripheral / emerging (6-10 000 MAD/sqm).
2. Premium districts — 18 000 to 28 000 MAD/sqm
