THE iconic Capital Gate Tower, currently under construction next to Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, is nearly complete.

More than 12,500 individually shaped glass panels have been installed on Capital Gate's faade in a complex engineering feat which has taken Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company and its construction partners 10 months to complete.

Each of glass had to be a slightly different shape and fitted at a different angle due to the building's unique lean and its curved profile.

Capital Gate will feature the 5-star Hyatt Hotel besides playing host to some of the most exclusive office space in the UAE capital.
