New property projects in Morocco in 2026: where they launch and how to choose

Every year, hundreds of new developments launch in Morocco, from economic housing to upmarket estates. In 2026, the Daam Sakane direct housing aid and preparations for major projects support activity in new builds. ABRAJ lists nearly 700 official developments, searchable by city on the new developments page. This guide explains where launches are concentrated and how to choose without mistakes.

Where are developments launching?

Our city guides detail the areas and indicative prices: Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Tangier, Agadir.

How to compare two developments

• The price per m² of living area, not just the total price or the sold area.
• The specification sheet: materials, equipment, kitchen, air conditioning.
• The real location: commutes, schools, shops, planning projects nearby.
• The schedule: planned delivery date and construction progress.
• Future service charges: residence amenities (pool, security).
• The guarantees: completion or refund guarantee written into the contract.

The rules that protect you

Off-plan sales are governed by law 44-00 amended by law 107-12: reservation deposit capped at 5% of the price, preliminary contract after the foundations, payments linked to progress, completion or refund guarantee, final contract at handover. See off-plan law article by article.

Aid for a first home

For a first new home used as a main residence, the Daam Sakane aid provides MAD 100,000 up to MAD 300,000 including VAT and MAD 70,000 between MAD 300,000 and 700,000. The Damane Assakane guarantees (FOGARIM, FOGALOGE) make credit easier depending on income. See combining aid, loan and guarantee.

Main home or investment: different criteria

To live in, favour commutes, schools, build quality and quiet; a slightly higher price is often justified over twenty years. To invest, look first at rental demand in the district (students, employees, families), the size of the units most in demand, the residence’s service charges and how easy resale will be. In both cases, calculate the total cost and compare at least three developments before committing. See rental yield.

Before reserving: the checklist

• Land title of the plot and building permit checked
• Projects already delivered by the same project owner visited
• Completion or refund guarantee mentioned in the contract
• Specification sheet attached to the contract
• Deposit paid by traceable means, within the legal limit
