Anas Sefrioui

Founder and chairman, Groupe Addoha

07 July, 2026

placeholder

Anas Sefrioui is the founder and chairman of Groupe Addoha, one of Morocco’s best-known listed real estate developers. Media outlets describe him as the founder and CEO of the listed homebuilder, noting that the group prospered through low-cost housing development in Morocco.

Sefrioui built Addoha into a major player in affordable housing, a segment closely linked to Morocco’s urbanisation and housing access agenda. The company’s listed profile identifies him as chairman, with Kenza Sefrioui serving as deputy chairman.
Beyond Morocco, Sefrioui’s business profile has increasingly been tied to African expansion. Forbes Africa’s 2026 billionaire profile lists him as a self-made real estate billionaire based in Casablanca and highlights Addoha’s roots in low-cost housing.

Recent reports also suggest a shift in strategy, with Sefrioui linked to premium development opportunities in Africa. While Addoha’s historical strength lies in mass-market housing, the broader real estate cycle across the continent is creating demand for mixed-use, middle-income and higher-margin residential communities. Sefrioui’s influence comes from having built a property group that sits at the intersection of private enterprise, public housing demand and urban development.

In a region where demographic growth and housing shortages remain major economic issues, Addoha’s evolution under Sefrioui continues to make him one of Morocco’s most closely watched real estate figures.
