Palm Zenata

Palm Zenata is an apartment residence by the Moroccan developer EMC Immobilier. It is located in Zenata Eco City, a new town developed by the Société d'Aménagement de Zenata (SAZ). According to the Casablanca-Settat Regional Investment Centre, this new town is in the commune of Ain Harrouda, Mohammedia prefecture, between Casablanca and Rabat. The official project page also states that its urban plan was the first in Morocco to receive the Eco-City label.

On its project page, the developer places the residence at the heart of Zenata Eco City, about five minutes from the Ain Sebaa industrial zone. It advertises a sea view and direct access to the Zenata central park, which it says covers 6 hectares. It also describes the area as low-density with large green spaces. These points come from the developer. They do not appear in the public sources consulted.

What is not published

EMC Immobilier's website gives no prices, number of units, unit types (number of rooms), floor areas or delivery date. It also does not say how far construction has progressed. On Imonga, the development is listed with the default status "under construction". The developer has not confirmed this status. Before making any commitment, ask EMC Immobilier in writing for the current price list, the plans and floor area of each unit, the delivery schedule and the land title number of the plot. Also ask for the building permit reference and the draft sale contract. Keep a copy of every written answer, and check that the plans, floor areas and delivery schedule you were given match what the draft contract says. A brochure can be downloaded from the project page, and a form there lets you request an appointment.

The developer

EMC Immobilier describes itself on its website as a Moroccan property developer specialising in high-end residential and office projects. That description is its own. Its website also presents the Palm Office, Bab Salam and Palm Garden developments. It does not give a head office address, legal form or trade register number: ask the developer directly for these details.
