Cayan Tower, originally named Infinity Tower, is a 306.4-meter, 73-story residential skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and completed on June 10, 2013. Each of its floors is rotated 1.2 degrees around a central cylindrical elevator and service core, giving the whole tower a continuous 90-degree twist that made it, at completion, the world's tallest building with that degree of rotation, a record later surpassed by the Shanghai Tower in February 2015.

The rooms of the tower are designed in such a way that it would not be affected by direct sunlight due to titanium-coloured metal panels on cast-in-place concrete columns aided with repetitive staggered screen panels to stop penetrating sunlight from disturbing the residents of the unit.
