In its commitment to fostering spatial justice, Al Omrane Group is actively contributing to the housing sector in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region (North of Morocco). Through the implementation of diverse projects, the group addresses the housing needs of various social groups, striving to ensure access to decent housing for all.
Housing for All Initiative
Founded in 2007 as a public investment entity, Al Omrane Group emerged from the amalgamation of several institutions, including the National Agency for the Fight against Inadequate Housing and the National Company for Equipment and Construction. Operating as a tool for executing public housing policies, the group bases its activities on three main sources: the new constitution, royal directives, and the government program.
Recognizing housing as a fundamental right for individuals and society, Al Omrane Group is committed to executing projects that contribute to providing housing for all Moroccans. This commitment involves offering affordable housing opportunities while focusing on improving living conditions to meet diverse societal needs.
“Chrafate” and “Ibn Khaldoun”: Icons of Sustainable Housing
The residential project “Ibn Khaldoun,” situated within the urban pole of Ibn Battuta, south of Tangier, stands out as a prominent initiative addressing the increasing demand for decent housing in this economically and developmentally dynamic city. With its modern architectural design and contemporary facilities, the project creates an integrated residential environment that combines luxury and sustainability.
Not far from the “Ibn Khaldoun” project in the urban pole – Ibn Battuta, the new city of “Chrafate” shines as an upscale model in the eastern suburbs of Tangier, specifically within the Fahs-Anjra district. This city continues to solidify its position as an engine for economic development in the kingdom, offering housing units that meet the needs of various social groups, including low-income categories. Additionally, modern facilities and services create a comprehensive living environment.
The new city, “Chrafate,” expected to accommodate around 150,000 residents, represents a structured public project aligned with the integrated vision to support the industrial policy in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. It also aligns with the vision of sustainable territorial development, being an environmentally respectful city that preserves natural resources. Moreover, it aims to provide a high quality of life for residents through a low-density urban plan, abundant green spaces, employment areas, and communal facilities (healthcare, education, sports, entertainment), essential for modern and flourishing urban living.
The “Ibn Khaldoun” and “Chrafate”, are among the leading national projects of Al Omrane Group, earning the “Ecocity Morocco” label. This recognition signifies a tangible commitment to sustainable practices, elevating numerous urban and new city projects in line with international environmental standards and the integrated guidelines of the United Nations Environment Programme.
Projects Upholding Housing Equity
Following the path of achieving housing justice in the housing sector, each of the “Tamouda” project near the city of Tetouan and the “Assaada” project at the entrance of the city of Al Qsar Al Kabir stands out as exemplary models in the realm of social housing. Both projects provide an integrated residential environment that combines luxury and sustainability.
The “Tamouda” project features a variety of housing units, including affordable housing units catering to the needs of low-income groups. The project also provides a range of modern facilities and services, such as schools, hospitals, markets, sports fields, and public parks.
As for the “Assaada” project, it stands out for its affordable prices, making it accessible to low-income groups. The project’s distinctive geographic location, situated near vital facilities such as schools, hospitals, and markets, adds to its appeal.
Continuous Commitment and Positive Impact
These significant projects, among others, reflect Al Omrane Group’s commitment to enhancing social development in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region by providing decent housing for low-income and vulnerable groups. The emphasis on developing the areas surrounding the projects is a key aspect of the current housing projects, including the provision of high-quality educational facilities, advanced healthcare centers, and public green spaces.
This comprehensive approach to projects contributes to a positive impact on the living conditions and quality of life in these urban communities bearing the imprint of this leading group. Achieving a balance between basic needs and luxury, these housing projects effectively contribute to housing equity in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region.
