Direct construction in French but you'll need a preposition in English:
sis Lissasfa = situated in? at? Lissasfa

Some Google hits say "au quartier Lissasfa",
so: situated in the L. district in Casablanca (suggestion?)

Further to iol'suggestion, I've checked both "situated" and "located" and it turns out the latter gets far more hits - so that might well be a better translation. As for Dalloz E>F Legal Dictionary, it gives both, followed by "at" or "in".

: Yes, 'located in / at' --- this is classic legalese, notaires are always talking about "maison d'habitation sise au lieu-dit ..."

"Sis" is the past participle of "seoir". Literally, it means "to sit".
It can be translated by a mere preposition, such as "in" or "at".
"Located" works beautifully as well. It's up to you, Rita! LOL
By the way, the feminine form is: sise
