About the place

Capital Gate dominates the exhibition district skyline with a pronounced westward lean.

Capital Gate ranks among the tallest commercial skyscrapers in the skyline, recognized colloquially as the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi. Specialized engineering created a deliberate westward incline that surpasses the famous tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The building forms the visual and operational focal point of Capital Centre.
