Data Points

The Marina Torch, also known as Dubai Torch, is a prominent residential skyscraper located in Dubai Marina, United Arab Emirates. Standing at 352 meters (1,155 feet) tall, it boasts 86 floors above ground and 4 below ground level. Originally conceptualized with 74 floors, the tower's design evolved over time, resulting in a structure with 676 apartments and six retail units. The tower's design includes amenities such as swimming pools, health clubs, gyms, cafeterias, aerobic rooms, and outdoor terraces. Its architecture aims to provide luxurious living spaces for residents, with apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms, as well as duplex suites. Despite its status as a residential landmark in Dubai, the Marina Torch has faced challenges, particularly concerning fire incidents. The most notable fires occurred in 2015, 2017, and 2019, resulting in varying degrees of damage. However, the building has undergone repairs and renovations, overseen by the National Engineering Bureau, the building's architect. The structure's resilience and ability to withstand these incidents, coupled with ongoing efforts to enhance safety measures, demonstrate its significance within Dubai's skyline.
