Marlin Icon

Marlin Icon is a mixed-use residential tower under construction on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, built by Cosmo Developments. The building is planned for handover in Q4 2030. Apartments are available for freehold purchase, with prices starting from 1,626,918 AED.

Two-level penthouses will sit at the top of the tower, on floors 20 and 21, while duplexes will occupy floors 18 and 19. The architecture is designed around movement, with soft curves, flowing lines and balanced proportions, and the silhouette of the tower will echo the outlines of the canal.

The shared zone of the building will take up the first residential floor above the podium, with a large pool and terrace, children's play areas and a gym, plus changing rooms next to the gym and a separate children's pool. The amenities list also includes a clinic, a spa and a retail space. On the ground level and one floor below, four retail units are planned, and the entrance will have a reception.

Two-bedroom apartments of Type C will have both bedrooms with wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, plus a separate guest toilet, and 2BR+ units will include a study.

Payment plans

Buyers can choose a scheme with the main sum due at handover or spread payments monthly. The 20/80 and 30/70 schemes put 20 or 30% on booking and the rest on handover, and the 30/70 plan has a second option of 20% on booking, another 10% after a year and 70% on handover. Monthly schemes ask for 10, 20 or 30% on booking, then 1% per month for 50 months, with the remaining 40, 30 or 20% due on handover. A 2% fee is added to any scheme on booking, and investors have a separate plan with full payment over three months: 34% on booking and 33% after one month and after two. Currently 89 two-bedroom apartments, 34 three-bedroom and 8 four-bedroom units are on sale, along with 4 commercial premises.

The site

The plot under the tower measures 1997 m² and holds a single building. Floor plans may change before the final design, and furniture, electronics and appliances are not included in the standard specification. Al Reem Island lies about 600 metres from the shores of Abu Dhabi, with bridges leading to Downtown, and Al Maryah and Saadiyat nearby.
