The building was known as Infinity until its grand opening: the new name is a reference to the name of the developer company. The building is 307 m high (75 floors) located on the Dubai Marina waterfront. Its lower part faces there, and the upper floors overlook the Persian Gulf: such a variety of views was achieved thanks to the turn of the tower by 90 degrees, when comparing the first and last floors.

This decision is not only a wish of the developers who wanted to sell all 495 apartments (ranging from one to four bedrooms) faster: this configuration allows to reduce the wind pressure on the tower. The facades of the reinforced concrete building are covered with perforated screens that protect the interior from the heat of the sun.

All communications are located in a circular cross-sectional "core" of the building and next to it, so they run exactly vertically, and the shape of the building does not affect them. Also, it does not affect the supports placed around the perimeter: they are all inclined at almost the same angle. But the corner columns and supports located inside the tower rotate as the height increases.

Developers emphasize that the Cayan Tower is the tallest "curving" tower in the world: it is higher than the previous record-holder, the tower

"Swivel Torso" in Malmö (190 m), designed by Santiago Calatrava.
