Infinity Tower (Imre Solt)
Cayan Tower, formerly known as Infinity Tower, in Dubai Marina is the world’s tallest tower with a 90-degree twist. But that's not
all, there is something more peculiar to this tower.
Due to the rotation of the tower, Saudi-based Cayan Investment and Development, in fact, paid to buy airspace, Emirates 24|7 can reveal.

“Due to the rotation of the building some of the façade is hanging over, which means that in this building some of the façade is outside the footprint of the building,” Dr Montasser El Raie, Senior Resident Engineer, Khatib & Alami, project consultant’s for the tower, told this website.
“… and that’s why the client [developer] had to pay fees for occupied airspace outside the plot limit. We never pay for the airspace, but in this building you actually have to pay because you are going outside of the plot limit. There is a hangover of seven to eight metres for which the client had to pay fees.”
