Located in the\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dubai.travel-culture.com\/dubai-marina-cruise-dinner.shtml\">Dubai Marina area<\/a>, the residential tower has sold over 80 per cent of its approximately 570 residential units, which includes 495 apartments, with one to four bedrooms, and penthouses.  Currently, the selling of residential units has stopped, but it is expected to resume after the summer months, according to Alhatti. Buyers that have units in the tower can move in starting from Tuesday, he said.  The tower, which has a 90 degree curve from top to bottom, also includes retail space and it is expected to have a spa as well.\u00c2\u00a0It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s taken eight years to develop Cayan Tower, which was expected to be launched in 2010.  The delay is a result of a number of factors, including the financial woes of 2008 that put many projects in Dubai on hold.\u00c2\u00a0Another factor is the collapse of the wall that held back the Marina water in 2007, Alhatti explained.  The 75 storey tower was designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, known for projects such as\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dubai.travel-culture.com\/burj_khalifa_tickets.shtml\">Burj Khalifa<\/a>.
