BYMARO awarded flagship Le Carrousel mall construction contract by IMKAN

The project is expected to be Morocco’s first lifestyle mall and has been described as a major feature of IMKAN’s flagship development in the capital Rabat

Abu Dhabi-based developer IMKAN has awarded the 36.5 million contract to build an open-air shopping mall in the Moroccan capital of Rabat to BYMARO, a local subsidiary owned by French building and engineering powerhouse Bouygues Batiment International.

The project is Morocco’s first lifestyle mall and has been described as a major feature of IMKAN’s flagship development in Rabat, Le Carrousel. It has been designed by architect Ernesto Klingenberg of Spanish design firm, L35.

With construction already underway, BYMARO’s two-year contract includes ensuring completion by the fourth quarter of 2022.

This is the second contract to be awarded for the Le Carrousel. The contract to build the first phase was given to SOGEA MAROC, the subsidiary of the French Group Vinci, who has been entrusted to build the residential areas, seafront promenade including over 40 retail outlets across the coastal development. Construction of Le Carrousel’s first phase began early this year and is due for completion in the third quarter of 2022.

Its retail centre-piece will feature a contemporary design “adapted in keeping with local culture, with enhanced green spaces” and well-lit areas amplified by stunning fountains and water features, said IMKAN.

Spanning 33,000 square meters, the Le Carrousel Mall will also be home to local and international franchises, F&B outlets, entertainment and leisure activities for residents and visitors to enjoy.

“When choosing a construction partner for our Le Carrousel Mall, we wanted to work with a company that shared our beliefs and values to build spaces that enrich people’s lives whilst delivering the highest standards of work and most importantly, on time,” remarked Ahmad Aref, country manager, IMKAN Maroc. “We work with world-class partners across all of our local and international sites and are proud to collaborate with BYMARO in Morocco to build the Le Carrousel Mall.”
