Project Name:Infinity Tower

Completion Date:3Q 2012

Client:Cayan Investment & Development

Value:Approx. AED 750 M (USD 200 M)

Floors:80

ProjectProfile

The Infinity Tower will come to be viewed

as the epitome of 21st century

architecture. The Infinitys twisting shape

challenges conventional architecture andredefines standards of luxury. Infinity

Tower has large floor plates, which

actually requires the structure to be

twisted as it rises from level to level in

combination with a vertical and central

core structure. Each of the 80 floors of this

residential apartment development is

rotated to achieve a 90 degrees spiral,

creating the shape of a helix and revealing

a structure that helps shield its interior

from the sun. The actual rotation is 1.2

degrees per floor and is based on the total

height above ground floor, to achieve the

total rotation of 89.51 degrees.

Amazingly, there is not a single vertical

structural pillar anywhere in the building.

These pillars form the main part of the

twisted structure, while it is combined and

supported with a central and vertical

service core structural element.

Achieving the rotation of the floor plan and

the twisting of heavily reinforced columns

was one of the major challenges faced

during the construction of the InfinityTower.

Precise surveying methodologies at each

and every stage of execution were required

to achieve the design parameters while

still achieving a concreting cycle of four-

days per floor.

The Infinity tower has won six world-class

awards so far, including Best Architecture

in the World at the 2006 International

Property Awards in London and Best New

Global Design at the 2008 International

Architecture Awards from the ChicagoAthenaeum Museum of Architecture and

Design. The Infinity Tower is developed by

Cayan and was designed by Skidmore

Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) known for

their iconic landmarks such as the Sears

Tower in Chicago and Burj Khalifa in

Dubai, in which Arabtec was also a main

contractor.
