Dubai’s residential Torch tower caught fire today, according to multiple news reports. The Dubai Media Office tweeted that no casualties have been reported.
This is the second time the 84-story tower has caught fire in 2.5 years. As ARCHITECT reported in February 2015: “The 1.5 million-square-feet Torch tower, designed by local firm Khatib & Alami, opened in 2011 and was developed by Dubai-based Select Group.”
