The World Record of ‘most leaning skyscraper’ has been achieved by Capital Gate developed by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

At 160 meter (520 ft) and 35 stories; Capital Gate also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi, is the most leaning skyscraper of the world that leans at an astounding 18 degrees to the west which is four times than the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The central core of the skyscraper slants in the opposite direction to the lean of the structure, and it straightens as it grows. The building sits on top of a 7-foot-deep concrete base of reinforced steel. The gravitational pressure caused by the 18° incline is countered by the technique ‘pre-cambered core’, using a core of concrete reinforced with steel deliberately built slightly off-centre. It is also anchored to the ground by 490 piles that have been drilled 100 feet underground.
