Infinity Tower is a skyscraper under construction by Palma Real Estate in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The project resumed construction in July 2008, after a delay caused by the collapse of a nearby wall and subsequent flooding of the construction site.
Construction of the 306 metres (1,005 ft) building began in February 2006 and when completed in 2011, it will have 76 stories and be the world's tallest high rise building with a twist of 90˚. The current version of the tower under construction beat out a taller, dark, 372 metres (1,220 ft), 93 floor Infinity Tower that was never built.
The tower will twist exactly like the Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden, and will be the tallest to do so. Each floor is rotated by 1.2˚ to achieve the full 90˚ spiral, creating the shape of a helix. The Tower will have residential apartments, conference rooms, tennis courts, pools, a state of the art gymnasium, a nursery and a spa.
The Project of the property development company CAYAN, its architects were Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and will be located in the Dubai Marina.
As of January 2010, 48 floors have been completed.
