The Cayan Tower has been designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, the company behind the design of Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Trump Tower in Chicago and Jin Mao in Shanghai. The construction of Cayan Tower began in February 2006 and completed in 2012. Each of the floor is rotated by approximately 1.2 degrees to achieve the full 90 degree spiral.
