Project overview
Marlin Icon is a mixed-use residential tower shaped for its canal-front setting on Al Reem Island. Its structure combines three basement levels, a ground floor, four podium levels and 21 residential floors. Within the tower are 140 residences, four retail units at street level and 226 parking spaces.
Cosmo Developments, working in partnership with Reportage, has planned the building around generous living proportions, broad windows and a softly curved facade informed by Arabesque geometry. Four passenger elevators and one service elevator support daily movement. The homes are scheduled for Q4 2030 handover and will be delivered fully finished, without furniture.
Building and delivery
The 1,997 sqm plot supports a composed vertical programme with 140 residences and 226 parking spaces. Four passenger lifts and one service lift connect the residential floors, amenity areas, arrival level and parking structure.
At ground level, four retail units activate the canal-facing edge and connect the building to the promenade. Landscaped paths, the pool terrace and shared social areas extend the residential experience beyond each home without diluting the privacy of the tower.
Homes are scheduled for handover in Q4 2030 and will be delivered fully finished and unfurnished. Buyers should expect completed kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and fixed finishes, while retaining the freedom to select their own furniture and decorative scheme.
Developer
Marlin Icon is developed by Cosmo Developments in partnership with Reportage Properties. The project adopts a design idea described as Poise in Motion, expressed through rounded facade lines, continuous balconies and a restrained palette that frames the canal and city outlooks.
The development is not presented as a licensed branded residence. Its identity comes from the architectural concept, waterfront setting and resident amenities. Specifications, finishes, availability and commercial terms should always be reconfirmed through the latest official project documents.
Al Reem Island location
The canal-front address connects residents with Al Reem Island's established neighbourhoods and the Abu Dhabi mainland. The promenade sits directly beside the development, while retail at ground level brings activity to the streetscape.
Residence types and sizes
The 140 residences span six principal categories. Upper levels open towards the canal and Abu Dhabi skyline, while selected first-floor homes use larger footprints and terrace access. All stated measurements are total areas and individual sizes vary by floor and layout.

Design and architecture
Curved balcony lines soften the tower silhouette and create a repeating facade rhythm. Canal-facing orientation and floor-to-ceiling glazing bring water, skyline and daylight into the residences. Interiors use neutral surfaces, warm accents and uncluttered detailing, with larger living spaces designed for practical everyday use.
