Additional information
  • Amenities include an outdoor infinity pool and whirlpool, a children’s play area, a fully equipped gymnasium, a world-class spa, massage rooms and a nursery.

  • The building is situated at the mouth of Dubai Marina thus enjoying great views of the marina, the sea and The Palm.

  • Cayan Tower is a helical skyscraper. The 73 floor plates are all identical but each is rotated by 1.2 degrees against the floor below it, resulting in a full 90-degree twist over the course of the tower's 307-metre rise, creating the shape of a helix.

  • Wind load and solar heat gain are reduced compared to a rectilinear building of the same height.

  • On completion, Cayan Tower was the world's tallest tower featuring a 90Ëš twist. The shape of the tower is a variation on Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden, which also twists exactly 90Ëš.

  • The designers of this waterfront tower, Skidmore Owings and Merrill, are known for other world-renowned projects such as Burj Khalifa, Trump Tower in Chicago, and Jin Mao in Shanghai.
