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.
