Marjane Group inaugurated its first next-generation retail park in southern Morocco on Wednesday, specifically in Laayoune. Located on Mohammed VI Avenue, Mazeej Mall is managed by Marjane Reim, the Marjane Group subsidiary responsible for overseeing the company’s commercial real estate assets, according to a press release.
The project represents an investment of over 260 million dirhams and spans a total area of 60,000 m², including 30,000 m² of covered space.
