The Torch

The Torch is a great place to live and stay. I love that you usually don’t have any traffic issues leaving or coming home as with other places in the Marina. It takes 3 min to get to Sheikh Zayed Road. I am a big fan of the floor to ceiling windows. Nice neighbours, friendly security, all good.

After the anti-flammable recladding, The Torch is one of the best value for money in Marina with spacious layouts, lifestyle amenities, proximity to main attractions and a vibrant community. Would particularly recommend it to young expats who would like to experience the Dubai Marina lifestyle

Excellent place to live for young expats. Best value for money in Dubai Marina area

The building doesnt have the best reputation because of the fires. But now that they overcompensated it with fireproof cladding the place offers probably the best value in Marina. Great location, great gym, great people. I've lived in Dubai for 5 years and I love this tower.

I moved here 6 months ago, the location is amazing near to the main roads, super markets Carrefour and Spinneys, tram, metro, beach, restaurants and bars. The community is great international, educated and friendly. Great insulation I barely use the AC. Visitor parking available public RTA or private paid parking in the Marina Gate building. You can’t ask for more!

The location is excellent, easy to access the parking with less traffic. Clean building and the staff are very helpful and kind.

The Torch Tower is ideally situated, one minute from the sea, from the marina and from public transportation. The staff are very friendly. Gym and Pool are great.

I lived in Torch Tower for the past 3 years and i only left because i moved countries. the place is great, luxurious, staff are great and building is super clean. only thing i would advise you to live between 6-46th floors in order to access fast elevators. everything above 46 will take you some time to get there. rooms are spacious, gym and pool is great and the area has a 5 stars rating close to many shops, restaurants, services etc.. overall i highly recommend Torch Tower

The staff are really friendly and helpful and the apartments are good value for the rental cost. However the traffic around the building is appalling and the noise from it can be heard at least to 49th floor (maybe even higher). For high floors the lifts can mean regularly waiting for 10minutes, so make sure you leave extra journey time! The swimming pool is great however doesn’t get the sun after 11am in the winter months, so good for families with young children, not so good for the sun lovers - best to head over to a beach for sun. The external cladding gives some peace of mind from fires, but the fire alarm is extra sensitive and does go off for a few minutes every couple of weeks whenever someone in the building has burnt some toast. You learn to ignore it!

I've been living in the Torch for 5 years and I must say after dealing with the fire issues and the construction next door, the building is now excellent value with good size apartments and an amazing location. The external cladding has been replaced and fireproofed and the gym is being upgraded. There is barely any noise on the higher floors. Easy access to SZR. Only issue is the lack of guest parking.
