Fire 2012
At 1:30 am on 18 November 2012 a fire broke out at Tamweel Tower, which forced the temporary evacuation of the building.[4] The fire was later proven to have been started by a cigarette butt, discarded by a careless smoker.[5] In the aftermath of the fire, the building became uninhabitable and needed reconstruction.[6] In January 2014, Emirates 24|7 reported that the work at the building had not been started due to legal disagreement between Tamweel (the developer) and the building's Owner Association (OA) on who would sign the restoration contract.[7] By November that year, the pledged cost had reached Dh78 million. However the work was still not started at that time.[6] Several months later, the Arabian Business reported that the repair work began in October 2015.[8] The building was then restored in June 2016.[9]
