R. - In fact, the next phase, which will include two new office towers and two other residential towers with hotel services, is already underway and should be completed around 2015. The next phase will of course depend on the country's economy. But the financing comes exclusively from private funds.<\/p>\n<h2>What will the neighbourhood look like in the long term?<\/h2>\n<p>A. R. - We want to turn Algiers Medina into an international district, with a business district concept, and give the city a new economic, cultural and social dimension. In all, there will be 2.5 million m2 of office and residential space (we're only at 180,000 at the moment), between 15,000 and 20,000 jobs and 2,000 luxury homes. A footbridge project should also link the district to the future Great Mosque of Algiers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"seriesmeta\">Article 9 out of 10 in this dossier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/destination\/tomorrow-the-maghreb-tunis-alger-casablanca\" class=\"series-607\" title=\"Special report - The Maghreb of tomorrow: Tunis, Algiers, Casablanca\">Special report - The Maghreb of tomorrow: Tunis, Algiers, Casablanca<\/a><\/div><p>\"We want to turn Algiers Medina into an international district\".<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"type-darticle":[],"n_magazine":[],"class_list":["post-17321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-villes-d-affaires","series-demain-le-maghreb-tunis-alger-casablanca","vapo-free"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rencontre : Abdelouahab Rahim, pr\u00e9sident d\u2019Arcofina Holding et du projet Alger M\u00e9dina<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u00abNous voulons faire d\u2019Alger M\u00e9dina un quartier \u00e0 vocation internationale\u00bb\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/meeting-with-abdelouahab-rahim-chairman-of-darcofina-holding-and-the-alger-medina-project\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rencontre : Abdelouahab Rahim, pr\u00e9sident d\u2019Arcofina Holding et du projet Alger M\u00e9dina\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00abNous voulons faire d\u2019Alger M\u00e9dina un quartier \u00e0 vocation internationale\u00bb\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/meeting-with-abdelouahab-rahim-chairman-of-darcofina-holding-and-the-alger-medina-project\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Voyages d&#039;affaires\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2011-01-10T23:02:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-02-10T08:56:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"La R\u00e9daction\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"La R\u00e9daction\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/rencontre-abdelouahab-rahim-president-darcofina-holding-et-du-projet-alger-medina\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/rencontre-abdelouahab-rahim-president-darcofina-holding-et-du-projet-alger-medina\",\"name\":\"Rencontre : Abdelouahab Rahim, pr\u00e9sident d\u2019Arcofina Holding et du projet Alger M\u00e9dina\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2011-01-10T23:02:47+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-02-10T08:56:09+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/#\/schema\/person\/8425ec1d37ab5f25f03c8e8897b93615\"},\"description\":\"\u00abNous voulons faire d\u2019Alger M\u00e9dina un quartier \u00e0 vocation internationale\u00bb\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/rencontre-abdelouahab-rahim-president-darcofina-holding-et-du-projet-alger-medina#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/rencontre-abdelouahab-rahim-president-darcofina-holding-et-du-projet-alger-medina\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/rencontre-abdelouahab-rahim-president-darcofina-holding-et-du-projet-alger-medina#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Accueil\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Rencontre : Abdelouahab Rahim, pr\u00e9sident d\u2019Arcofina Holding et du projet Alger M\u00e9dina\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/\",\"name\":\"Voyages d&#039;affaires\",\"description\":\"media fran\u00e7ais du Voyage d&#039;Affaires &amp;
