70% of Dubai’s Toyota building tenants have left after power cuts, management says

Around 70% of tenants at Dubai's iconic Toyota building on Sheikh Zayed Road have vacated their apartments, according to the building management. The tenants left voluntarily due to a power supply disruption, while those with valid rental contracts were informed they could remain until December 2026. The management explained that they were unable to enter the apartments to address the issue involving partitioned apartments, as per the rules of the municipality.

The reason behind the power cuts remains unknown, as the building management attributed the disconnection to Dubai Municipality. The building, a landmark in Dubai since 1974, is scheduled for demolition in 2027, leaving many tenants and businesses to prepare for closure.
