A $300 million consulate in Casablanca
The American Mission is transferring its Consulate General in Casablanca to a new ultra-modern complex in Casa Finance City. This $300 million project symbolizes a 250-year-old historic partnership and strengthens the United States’ diplomatic presence in Morocco.
The United States is settling in the heart of the new urban hub of Casa Anfa. This strategic complex, located on Rue des Liserons, replaces the former offices on Boulevard Moulay Youssef and the Dar America center in Gauthier. According to details provided by the American Mission, this site meets the highest environmental standards, integrating solar energy and water-efficient systems to obtain LEED certification. The infrastructure has generated hundreds of local jobs and injected $100 million into the Moroccan economy during its construction phase.

The transition of consular services will take place in several stages during April 2026. The historic site on Boulevard Moulay Youssef will cease its visa activities on April 21, before a full resumption at Casa Finance City on April 28. The Dar America cultural center will reopen its doors on May 5 in these new premises. For Consul General Marissa Scott, this modernization will allow them to "better serve Moroccan and American citizens" while consolidating the bilateral ties between the two nations.

This move is part of a centuries-old relationship, as Morocco was the first country to recognize American independence in 1777. For Ambassador Duke Buchan, this building "celebrates both a modern symbol of American diplomacy and a 250-year-old enduring friendship". The Kingdom now hosts one of the most modern American representations in the world, alongside the historic legation in Tangier.
