Capital Gate

ANOTHER ACCOLADE FOR ABU DHABI: The gravity-defying Capital Gate is now officially the ‘World’s Furthest Leaning Man made Tower’. - The tower is really close to our villa. It is really cool to see it being built everyday. Seems like here they went to be the first of everything, which is really cool. Here are some facts about Capital Gate: 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. When fully complete by end of this year, 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. I told Paul that I thought it would have a hotel in it and I was right the Hyatt.
