Twin Center
The two towers that have defined the Casablanca skyline since 1999 — 28 floors each, connected by a bridge at the top, clad in reflective glass that mirrors the Atlantic light. Designed by Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill, they announced that Casablanca intended to be an African financial capital, not just a port city. The intention was not entirely wrong.
The twin towers of the Casablanca Twin Center, designed by Ricardo Bofill and built in 1998. At 115 metres they were the tallest buildings in Morocco until the Mohammed VI Tower in Rabat surpassed them. The towers house a hotel (Kenzi Tower) and commercial offices.
The architecture is late-20th-century postmodernism — glass and concrete with Islamic geometric patterns worked into the facade. The towers sit at the western end of the Boulevard Zerktouni, framing the city's main commercial axis. At night the facades are illuminated and the geometric patterns become more visible.
For visitors, the towers are a landmark rather than a destination. The hotel has a rooftop bar with city views. The surrounding neighbourhood — Maârif — is Casablanca's most cosmopolitan commercial district, with French bistros, concept stores, and the kind of café culture that makes Casablanca feel closer to Beirut than to Marrakech.
