This proud and important building has stood for over half a century. It is like those structures that never cease to tell the story of a city or an era.
The structure, which is located in the United Nations Square, is one of the most attractive structures overlooking the old medina.
This stunning city-center structure, designed by Alexandre Courtois, was completed in 1950. It perfectly illustrates the attitude of architects and urban planners of the time.
Designing, planning, and constructing this building was an inspiring task. By marrying form and function, the architect attempted to balance complex imperatives that tell a story.
Its characteristic architecture from the 1950s has earned it inclusion on the list of historical monuments of the city of Casablanca.
Aware of the importance of preserving this jewel of Casablanca's architectural heritage, BMCI has allocated a budget of ten million dirhams to rehabilitate the building's two facades: the main facade, which overlooks the United Nations Square, and the secondary facade, which overlooks Mohammed V Avenue. Today, with the renovation completed, passers-by and visitors can admire the brand new facade.
