11 Aug. 2010 - Capital Gate in Abu Dhabi has been officially certified by Guinness Book of Records as the 'World's Furthest Leaning Manmade Tower'. The 160 meters, 35 stories tower has been built to lean 18 degrees westwards. When fully completed by the end of the year, the tower will house 'Hyatt Capital Gate', as well as exclusive office space. Recently, the UAE are making a name for themselves as all its latest buildings seem to qualify for 'the highest, biggest, tallest, most expensive' superlative attached to it. British based international architecture firm RMJM designed Capital Gate, which is adjacent to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center. The famous leaning tower in Pisa only leans 4 degrees. Eat your heart out, Pisa!
