A tower block in east London caught fire in the early hours of bank holiday Monday. It was covered in "non-compliant cladding" and more than 80 people, including children, have been evacuated. Another 20 were rescued. The Mayor of London has urged people to avoid the area.
I'm not sure what gives you that impression. The article just says "Mixed use residential and commercial" which applies to hundreds of thousands of purpose built apartment buildings.
The article specifies that they had fire safety compliance citations last year for the building cladding not being up to code.

True. I'd taken commercial as meaning offices, but I guess it could be retail.
Converting office space is a trend in London right now though.
