Dh14 million Cayan Tower penthouse in Dubai comes with a twist – in pictures


If you want to live somewhere that few others can match, then this penthouse in Dubai’s Cayan Tower is truly unique. Because when the building was completed in June 2013, this apartment did not exist. It is actually five separate apartments, which the owner was given permission to fuse into one. Hence why the only five-bedroomed apartment in Cayan Tower spans half of the building’s 22nd floor, with a living space of 5,338 square feet. What’s more, the 75-storey Cayan Tower is a tower with a twist.From the outside the building’s distinctive shape makes it look as though it has been wrung out and twisted like a dishcloth; each floor is rotated by 1.2 degrees to achieve the total 90-degree twist, creating the shape of a helix.Inside the rooms are designed in such a way that they cannot be affected by direct sunlight thanks to titanium-coloured metal panels to stop sunlight penetrating and disturbing the residents. Plus, residents have views of Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeira and the Arabian Gulf When it opened in June 2013, the building was called the Infinity Tower and became the world’s tallest high-rise building with a twist of 90 degrees. It was designed by the same company that built the Burj Khalifa – Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. It is now called The Cayan Tower and sits on the front row of the Dubai Marina overlooking the Palm, the yacht club, the Arabian Gulf and the towering presence of the Marina itself. So how much for all this uniqueness? Dh14 million will secure you five bedrooms all en suite, comprising four guest bedrooms and one huge master suite.Floor-to-ceiling windows are the order of the day, allowing the natural light to flood throughout the penthouse.There are other staff quarters in the property.While the furniture is not included in the asking price, Luxhabitat, the realtor in charge of its sale, suggested that if the asking price were met then the furniture could become part of the deal very easily. Still, the flourish of the furnishing may not immediately appeal to all tastes. However, the selling point of this property is its location, its iconic address and its unique size.ascott@thenational.aeFollow The National’s Business section on Twitter
