Overview

Cayan Tower, known as Infinity Tower while it was being built, stands on the Dubai Marina waterfront and is one of the best-known residential towers in the emirate. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed it around a cylindrical core, and every floor plate is rotated by about 1.2 degrees, so the building makes a full 90-degree turn from base to top. At its opening in June 2013 it was described as the tallest high-rise with a twist in the world; the record was later passed by Shanghai Tower. CTBUH lists it at 306.4 m with 73 floors above ground and five below, while the developer's launch coverage spoke of 75 storeys and 307 m, so the page keeps both figures visible. The tower holds about 495 apartments from studios to four-bedroom units, plus duplexes and penthouses, and the twist gives many of them a changing view of the Marina and the Gulf. Work began in August 2006, stopped for roughly 18 months after the site flooded in February 2007 and resumed in 2008. Today it is a completed building with no developer sales; every purchase is a resale. DLD registered 29 sales in 2026 up to early November at a median of about AED 2,076 per sq ft, and 82 Ejari rental contracts in the last 90 days. Service charges are high compared with older Marina towers and sources disagree on the exact rate, so check the current figure before buying.

Expert analysis

Mr Amlak's reading of the sources listed on this page. It is not a rating or an opinion of the Dubai Land Department.

Strengths

The twisted SOM design gives the tower a unique identity on the Marina. It has been complete since 2013, so a buyer deals with a finished unit rather than an off-plan promise. The resale market is active: DLD registered 29 sales up to early November 2026 and 82 Ejari rentals in the last 90 days.

Based on: CTBUH, Wikipedia, DLD open data

Weaknesses

Service charges are reported as high and sources range from AED 18 to 32 per sq ft a year. The twisting body and varied layouts spread prices widely between units (AED 1.3M to 14M in this year's sales).

Based on: RECD, Property Finder, DLD open data

Investment opportunities

The building's registered median price per sq ft (about AED 2,076) sits close to the 2026 Dubai Marina median (about 2,061), so it does not carry a large premium over the area. The median registered rent is about AED 135,000 a year; against the median sale price that is about 5.4% in simple arithmetic, taken from different samples and not a promise of return.

Based on: DLD open data 2026, own arithmetic

Investment risks

Sources still disagree on floors (73 or 75), height and unit count (495 or about 570) and no official document settles it. The service charge must be confirmed with the building manager, and net yield after it will be lower than the gross yields portals report.

Based on: CTBUH vs Gulf News; service charge sources

Market reading

Between January and 9 November 2026, 29 sales were registered with about AED 97.8M volume, a median of AED 2.5M and AED 2,076 per sq ft; the Dubai Marina monthly median per sq ft moved between 1,806 and 2,355. Adverts (67 for sale and 10-11 for rent) are asking prices, not registered deals. A one-year price change for this building was not found in a reliable source.

Based on: DLD open data 2026

Conclusion

Cayan Tower is a completed, well-known Dubai Marina building with an active resale market. Before deciding, a buyer should check the real service charge, the exact unit plan and size, and the dates against official documents; this page guarantees no profit or price growth.
