An office and hotel complex(综合体,综合设施) in the United Arab Emirates set for completion by the end of 2010 was certified as the world's farthest-leaning man-made tower, the magazine Arabian Business reported.

Capital Gate, owned and developed in the UAE capital by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC), was built to lean 18 degrees westwards - more than four times that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa - the firm said in a statement.

It earned the recognition by Guinness World Records after rigorous(严格的,严密的) evaluation2 by the Awards committee began in January, when the exterior3(外部的,外在的) of the 525-foot (160-meter), 35-story tower was completed.

"Capital Gate is a landmark4 development for Abu Dhabi and with this recognition the tower takes its place among the world's great buildings. It is a signature building which speaks to the foresight5 of the emirate(酋长国) ," ADNEC Chairman Sheikh Sultan bin6 Tahnoon al Nahyan said.

The building's floor plates were stacked(堆放) vertically7 up to the 12th story, after which they were staggered over each other by between nearly a foot (300 millimeters) to 55 inches, giving rise to its dramatic lean.

When completed, Capital Gate - designed by British-based international architecture(建筑学) firm RMJM - will house a five-star hotel and about 24,000 square yards (20,000 square meters) of premium8 office space.
