The U.S. diplomatic mission in Morocco announced on Saturday that the Consulate General in Casablanca is relocating to a new, modern, state-of-the-art compound located in the Casa Finance City district.
According to a press release published on the official website of the U.S. Embassy in Morocco, this historic move marks a new chapter in the enduring partnership between the United States and Morocco.
All activities of the Consulate General will be transferred to the new site from its various facilities, including the office building on Moulay Youssef Boulevard and the cultural center Dar America currently located in Place Belair, Gauthier, the press release specifies.
According to the same source, April 21 will be the last day of service provision to U.S. citizens and visa processing at the old building, while April 28, 2026, will mark the resumption of these services at Casa Finance City (by appointment only).
Regarding Dar America, the press release states that it will close its current building on April 10, before reopening on May 5 at Casa Finance City.
During the transition period, the press release notes, American Citizen Services (ACS) will remain available to provide emergency assistance to U.S. citizens in Morocco. The most efficient way to reach these services is through the American Citizen Services navigator.

Located within the dynamic Casa Finance City, the new consulate reflects the deep historical and cultural ties between Morocco and the United States, which are celebrating the 250th anniversary of their relations. The compound blends contemporary American architecture with Moroccan influences, featuring sustainable design elements such as solar energy systems, water-efficient landscaping, and easy access to public transportation.
“As we open the doors to our new consulate general in Casablanca, we celebrate not only a modern symbol of American diplomacy, but also the enduring 250-year-old friendship between the United States and Morocco,” Ambassador Duke Buchan said, as quoted in the press release.
“We are excited to welcome our visitors to our new home in Casa Finance City. This facility will help us serve the people of Morocco and the United States even better and strengthen the close ties between our countries. We look forward to continuing our work together in this new chapter,” Consul General Marissa Scott notes.
Morocco was the first country to recognize the United States in 1777, and this partnership has continued to grow stronger. With the opening of this new consulate, Morocco is home to both the oldest and the newest U.S. diplomatic properties: the U.S. Legation in Tangier and the new compound in Casablanca, the press release notes.
According to the same source, the project represents an investment of over $300 million, creating hundreds of jobs and contributing up to $100 million to the Moroccan economy during its construction phase. The new facility is a candidate for LEED® certification, in recognition of the project’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
