Dubai is currently home to the world's tallest building, hotel and apartment complex, the city shows no signs of slowing down.

An inauguration ceremony was recently held to celebrate the opening of the world's highest twisted tower, named Cayan Tower. The building stretches up more than 70 stories and is a thousand feet in height. It is located in the upscale Marina district.

Costing around $275 million to complete, the outward design was inspired by the human DNA composition. Showcasing a 90 degree twist, it was previously known as Infinity Tower prior to the inauguration.

It serves as a residential waterfront property. Described as a concrete structure, the hexagonal floor rotates around a circular base.

The twisted shape helps to reduce the force by winds. The designers notes - "The units are special in its spacious rooms, big court yards with lots of sunlight that will enhance the feeling of space and freedom."
