Marlin Icon by Cosmo Developments on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi

Marlin Icon by Cosmo Developments is a canal-facing residential tower on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. The development contains 140 residences, with apartments of two to four bedrooms and a selection of duplex layouts. A curved facade rises above a retail base beside the water, with shared leisure facilities within the building.

The current apartment offering begins at 753 sqft (70 m²), while the four-bedroom category starts at 1,707 sqft (158.6 m²). These are total areas, including outdoor space. Private balconies and terraces follow the individual layout, with straight and curved frontages reflecting the apartment's position within the tower.

Two-bedroom plans place separate bedrooms around a combined living and dining room, with an adjoining kitchen. Type A includes two bathrooms and a dressing area beside the main bedroom. The Plus layouts add an enclosed home office, while some larger configurations also have a maid's room and a guest powder room.

Duplex apartments occupy the 18th and 19th floors, connected by internal stairs. In the three-bedroom Type B, the living room, dining area and kitchen are downstairs, with bedrooms above. Selected layouts have double-height openings. The uppermost two floors contain duplex penthouse designs with their own arrangements of terraces, living rooms and bedrooms.

Rounded corners and continuous balcony bands shape the exterior. Broad glazing follows the building's curved edges, while a finer screen wraps parts of the podium. The entrance and retail frontage meet the canal-side walkway at the base. Above the ground floor and four podium levels are 21 upper floors, with three basement levels below.

Built-in bedroom wardrobes, double-glazed windows and a fibre-optic connection form part of the unit specification. Interiors use pale surfaces, warm wood tones and neutral colours, with large windows beside the living and sleeping areas. Open kitchen layouts place the cooking area beside the dining and seating space.

A shared swimming pool and its outdoor deck provide space for swimming and poolside seating. Children have a separate pool and play areas. The gym contains cardio and strength-training equipment beside extensive glazing, bringing the main exercise facilities into the same building as the apartments.
