The unique architecture is the idea of Skidmore Owings and Merrill, the great minds behind the world’s tallest structures, Burj Khalifa and Trump Tower in Chicago. The helical shape of the tower outshines other projects in the area and functions as a safety measure against the northerly winds, which often carry sand and dust.

The developers have ensured that the project meets international safety standards.

• The HVAC system of the tower deals with harsh winds from the desert that often carry sand grains.
• There’s a central external air system with sand filters to ensure adequate ventilation across the tower.

With a combination of world-class amenities and safety features, Cayan Tower is one of the most stunning projects in Dubai Marina.
