Dubai's iconic Toyota building on Sheikh Zayed Road is set to be demolished in 2027, according to the building's real estate division. The decision follows the departure of tenants and the removal of a neon Toyota sign that adorned the structure for decades. While the exact date of demolition has not been disclosed, current tenants with valid rental contracts can remain in the property until December 2026.
The 15-storey residential building, completed in 1974, was a prominent landmark in Dubai's rapidly developing skyline. Its bright red Toyota sign, first installed in 1981, was removed in 2018 but was reinstated in June 2022 after a four-year absence. The building, which includes apartments ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms, has been a familiar sight on Sheikh Zayed Road for over five decades.
