Project overview

Poise in motion beside the canal

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

A complete residential tower, planned for Q4 2030

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

Cosmo Developments with Reportage

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.

Design and architecture

Arabesque rhythm, contemporary restraint

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.
