It’s destroyed.

A massive fire broke out at the Address Hotel in Dubai on New Year’s Eve and the damage caused to the building is substantial.

The fire broke out at the 63 storey building right beside the Burj Khalifa on Thursday night and officials say 16 people suffered mostly minor injuries.

It’s still unclear what caused the fire and they’re going through the ash and rubble for clues today.

Here’s footage of the damage done to the hotel.
