About Cayan Tower#
Cayan Tower (formerly Infinity Tower) is a twisting residential skyscraper on the Dubai Marina waterfront in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is known for its 90-degree helical twist and distinctive silhouette among the marina’s high-rise cluster.
Seen from the marina promenade and marina waterways, the tower’s spiralling facade is a focal point in the skyline; the twisting profile was designed to maximize views and create a landmark form. The base area and adjacent promenade offer viewpoints for photography and observation of the tower among neighboring high-rises.
The building was developed as part of the Dubai Marina expansion and completed in the early 2010s; it became noted for its engineering and architectural approach to a rotating tower form. Since opening it has been occupied mainly by residential units and serviced apartments.
Cayan Tower stands on the Dubai Marina, along the waterfront promenade and near the marina canal and yacht berths, within the Emirate of Dubai’s skyscraper district.
- Twisting design: The tower rotates a full 90 degrees from base to top, producing the distinctive helical profile seen from Dubai Marina.
- Residential tower: Completed in the early 2010s, it functions primarily as a residential skyscraper within the Dubai Marina district.
