Tenants of a tower in Dubai Marina have returned to their apartments 10 days after a parking lot floor collapsed.
The parking lot is still closed and residents have been requested to park their cars in nearby paid slots and earlier the Dorra Bay tower was evacuated for safety in the early morning of January 5, when the roof of the parking lot reportedly collapsed due to a water pipe explosion.

No injuries were reported, but the tower’s tenants were relocated to different hotels nearby for about five days until the building was deemed safe for return.
A tenant said that the higher management has recommended parking spaces in the area that cost up to AED 700 to AED 800 a month, but there is no information yet about when the construction work in the parking basement is expected to be completed.
