A real estate project in the Azla area, near Tangier, Morocco, has left numerous buyers waiting for their apartments. The project, which was supposed to be completed within a specific timeframe, has been delayed, causing frustration among the buyers. Many of these individuals, residing in Morocco and abroad, have made significant financial payments and received receipts, only to see the project's completion date pass without delivery.
The buyers, who made payments to the company responsible for the project, claim they were told the project would be completed within a year and that they could take possession of their apartments afterward. However, the project appears to have been abandoned, with construction work halted for extended periods. Despite this, the company would occasionally hire workers during the summer season, giving the impression that work was ongoing.
The affected individuals, including those living in Spain, Portugal, Germany, and France, have expressed their disappointment and frustration. They claim that the company's actions do not align with the promises made when they made their payments. One buyer from Tangier stated that he paid a deposit in 2021, expecting to receive his apartment in 2024, but the project remains unfinished.
The cases documented reveal discrepancies in the payment dates and deadlines provided to the buyers. Two women, Leila and Sahar, residing in Germany and France, respectively, each paid a deposit of 100,000 dirhams in August 2025, expecting to receive their apartments six months later. However, the deadline passed without the apartments being delivered, and construction work remained limited.
The buyers have submitted complaints and provided documentation, including receipts for their payments, which demonstrate the varying deadlines and promises made by the company. One document obtained shows a warning sent to the relevant party, demanding the return of a 100,000 dirham deposit. The warning references an agreement for an apartment in the project, although the buyer claims that the promise of delivery was made verbally.
According to Leila and Sahar, they were informed that their apartments would be delivered after six months, but the deadline passed without fulfillment. The construction work, as described by the buyers, remained halted or limited. These cases highlight the plight of buyers, both within Morocco and abroad, who have made financial payments but are still waiting for their apartments.
The situation remains unresolved, with buyers awaiting the completion of the project and the delivery of their properties. Efforts are being made to gather more information and understand the project's current status, the fate of the payments made, and the reasons behind the delays. The relevant parties have been given the opportunity to provide explanations and respond to the allegations made by the buyers.
