Cayan Tower, Spiral skyscraper in Dubai Marina, United Arab Emirates
The Cayan Tower reaches a height of 306.4 meters with 73 floors, featuring a complete 90-degree rotation from base to top in Dubai Marina.
The construction started in 2006 but encountered delays due to site flooding, leading to an 18-month pause before its completion in June 2013.
The tower represents modern Arabic architectural innovation through its geometric transformation, standing as a testament to Dubai's engineering capabilities.
The building contains residential units with reconstituted wooden floors, synthetic marble countertops, and specialized kitchen fixtures protected from direct sunlight.
Eight elevators transport residents through the twisted structure, which earned recognition as the world's tallest spiral tower upon completion.
