Buying in The Torch
An 86-storey tower in the northern cluster, among the world’s tallest residential buildings at completion, with full-height Marina or sea views and some of the area’s most competitive per-sqft pricing.
Who The Torch suits: and the trade-off
The Torch trades at a visible discount to its neighbours, partly its 2015 and 2017 facade fires, since remediated with new cladding, and that discount is the whole conversation. For yield-focused buyers the entry price drives strong rental maths; for capital-growth buyers the question is how fast the discount closes. We put the tower’s own registered trajectory in front of you and let the numbers argue.
Dubai Marina: the registered numbers
Community-level medians from registered transactions, 12 months to Aug 2026. The Torch itself trades on its own registered history, floor band, stack and condition move unit values well away from the area median, which is exactly what the building file covers.

Where it stands
Questions buyers ask about The Torch
Should the fire history stop me buying?
The cladding was replaced under the post-2017 remediation programme, and the tower rents and trades actively. What matters is that the discount you pay going in reflects the registered record, that is a pricing question, and answerable.
What yields does The Torch produce?
Among the stronger in the tall Marina towers because entry prices are lower while rents track the cluster. Unit-level Ejari history confirms the realistic band before you commit.
