A priority project for the real estate and housing sector by 2023, the “Baie des Rois” will host three buildings and a shopping center by 2025. A format far below the initial project of the Marina de Libreville.
Launched in 2013 under the name of “Champ Triomphal Port-Môle”, then readjusted on September 18, 2017 under a new name, “Baie des Rois”, the Marina of Libreville will experience a minimum achievement if the challenge of 2025 were to be met. held by the Gabonese government. At least that’s what the Transformation Acceleration Plan (PAT) provides.
Indeed, according to the National Program for the Coordination and Acceleration of Public, Para public and Private Real Estate Investments, contained in the Transformation Acceleration Plan (PAT) 2021-23, this project returned in 2015 to the Fonds Maritime du Champ Triomphal (FMCT), a subsidiary of the Gabonese Strategic Investment Fund (FGIS), could accommodate its first buildings in 4 years… in 2025. These are three buildings and a shopping centre.
The government is also considering a minimum readjustment of the initial design of the “Bais des Rois” project, delimited in a 40-hectare area supposed to accommodate a 200-berth marina, 205,000 m² of office space, 79,000 m² of shops, a hotel park 4 and 5 stars, facilities (a museum, an aquarium, a bus station and parking, an arts village, etc.) and 41,000 m² dedicated to housing.
If fears may still exist around the realization of this project presented as major and the requalification of Libreville, the authorities say they are calm. Last January, the spokesperson for the Presidency of the Republic, Jessye Ella Ekogha, assured that “no announcement of new projects will be made without clear budgeting or even prior funding”.
