MD EXPRESS REAL ESTATE - 'THE KEY TO YOUR NEW HOME'
The Marina Torch, also known asDubai Torch,Dubai Torch Tower[5]or justThe Torch,[6]is asupertallresidentialskyscraperat theDubai Marina, inDubai,United Arab Emirates. The tower was designed by National Engineering Bureau. The tower became the tallest residential building in the world in 2011 (surpassingQ1, inGold Coast,Australia), then lost the record in 2012 to23 Marinaand subsequentPrincess Towerdirectly across the street. It is 336.1 metres (1,103ft) tall, with 79floorsabove ground. It was damaged by fire on February 21, 2015.[7]
The original concept design by architects Khatib & Alami was 74 floors, with three basement levels and a four-story podium, and had a total planned built up area of 111,832 m (1.2 million ft). It was to have 504 apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms and four duplex apartment suites. The three basement floors and part of the podium were to hold car parking for 536 vehicles, while floors five and six were to contain aswimming pool,health club,gymnasium,cafeteria,aerobicrooms and sit-out cover seal terraces.[6]
However the original developer of the project for the proposed tower, Al RashideenTRADING COMPANY, transferred ownership of the project to a new developer, Select Group. Select Group then appointed a new consultant, National Engineering Bureau, who amended and modified the concept design and, following delays, eventually secured the necessary approval from Dubai Municipality.
Dubai Municipality's approval of the design was delayed because of its comments on the National Engineering Bureau's modifications to the concept design, and the purported risk of structural failings arising from the design modifications.[8]
In April 2007, the project was running 18 months behind schedule, with the tower's foundations still under construction. The original expected completion date of June 2008 had been extended to late 2009, with the further extension into 2011.[4]The Marina Torch was opened in May 2011.
As built, it has 676 apartments and 6 retail units.[9]In 2015 the price of a one bedroom apartment started at 1,628,000AED($443,295 USD).[10]There are many residential towers in this part of Dubai and they are popular withexpatriates.[11]
