"Capital Gate" Hyatt Hotel + Offices Capital Gate, located in Abu Dhabi, now holds the Guinness Record for the ‘Worlds Furthest Leaning Manmade Tower.’ Completed in late 2010, this 35 story building with an incline of 18 degrees is the focal point of Abu Dahbi National Exhibition Company’s (ADNEC) new mixed use development. Because of its unique posture, Capital Gate is being constructed on top of an incredibly dense mesh of reinforced steel. The dense mesh sits above an intensive distribution of 490 piles which have been drilled 30 metres underground to accommodate the gravitational, wind and seismic pressures caused by the lean of the building. Features of the tower include 728 unique custom-made diamond-shaped glazing panels that due to the structure's curving shape, will be will be fitted at a slightly different angle. Below is background information on the Capital Gate and it’s Guinness Record as included in press release from ADNEC.
RSH+P's new home inside the so-called Cheesegrater tower features brightly coloured furnishings, exposed steelwork and a big central meeting space.
