The construction of the 250 m-tall Bank of Africa Tower in Morocco, set to become Africa’s tallest skyscraper, will start on Nov. 1, local media reported on Friday.
According to Hespress.com news site, this emblematic site will be built by the Belgium-based company Besix Group and its subsidiary Six Construct along with Morocco’s leading construction company TGCC.
The project involves the construction of several innovative facilities, including the Grand Theatre of Rabat, the Arts and Culture House, the National Archives of the Kingdom of Morocco and the Archaeological Museum.
Although Africa is not generally known for its abundance of skyscrapers, the number of tall buildings on this continent has been growing significantly over the last few decades.
Carlton Centre, located in Johannesburg, South Africa, is the tallest skyscraper in Africa; it stands at 732 feet tall and encompasses 50 floors.
