CASABLANCA OUTLET VILLAGE
Our team
REAL ASSETS AFRICA​
​
RAA was formed in 2019 to develop Africa’s first sustainable outlet village.
The three partners – Trendy Fashion, Scoop Architects and Freeport have deep experience in the retail and real estate trade.
Despite the frustrations of Covid, they are now excited that their vision will soon be realised.
​​
The outlet will be managed by Freeport – who opened one of the first European outlets in 1994. In 2019 The Village, Lyon, a joint venture between Freeport and Cie de Phalsbourg won the prestigious Mapic Outlet award. Other Freeport centres have been shortlisted too. In all, Freeport has developed and managed more than 20 centres across the globe and brings its meticulous management standards and global brand relationships to Morocco for the first time.
