Capital Gate, also known as the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi, is a skyscraper in Abu Dhabi. It's over 160 meters tall, 35 stories high, with over 16,000 square meters of usable office space, Capital Gate is one of the tallest buildings in the city. It is designed to incline 18° west. In June 2010, Guinness World Records certified Capital Gate tower as the world's "Farthest man-made leaning building". The new record shows that the Capital Gate tower has been built to lean 18° west, which is more than four times that of the Leaning Tower of Suurhusen.
The gravitational pressure caused by the 18° incline is countered by a technique called pre-cambered core, using a core of concrete reinforced with steel, with the core deliberately built slightly off-center. It is also anchored to the ground by 490 piles which are drilled 20–30 meters underground.
