Capital Gate, owned and developed by ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company), has been certified as the ‘World’s Furthest Leaning Manmade Tower,’ by Guinness World Records.
The 160-metre, 35-storey Capital Gate tower has been built to lean 18 degrees westwards. The building leans at 18 degrees, which is nearly five times that of the Tower of Pisa, which leans at 4 degrees. The tower will house the 5 Star ‘Hyatt Capital Gate’, as well as 20,000sqm of the most exclusive office space in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Capital Gate’s distinctive futuristic design, aesthetic splendour and technical excellence make it a modern marvel and a celebration of human achievement that reflects the dynamism of Abu Dhabi. Additionally, the tower provides a historic link to the past by integrating with the grandstand at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, one of the world’s most modern exhibition venues. Capital Gate underscores the bond between the old and the new by linking to this historic grandstand through an innovative canopy commencing from level 18 of the tower and sweeping across the grandstand, creating a wave-like effect.
