End of an era: Dubai’s iconic Toyota building to be demolished in 2027
After five decades, Dubai’s skyline is about to lose the Toyota building, one of its most recognisable landmarks
Dubai's 15-storey Toyota Building, a landmark on Sheikh Zayed Road, is set to be demolished in 2027, according to the Nasser Rashid Lootah Group. The tower, erected in 1974, gained its famous name after a neon Toyota sign was installed on its roof in 1981. Residents are facing forced eviction as the Dubai Municipality disconnects utilities in phases.
The building, originally known as the Defence Roundabout, has been a part of Dubai's skyline for decades and holds significant sentimental value for many who lived there. Former residents recall the building as a crucial part of their lives, shaping their experiences and memories in the city.
