Cosmo Developments launches Marlin Icon on Al Reem Island

Abu Dhabi, UAE - Cosmo Developments has launched Marlin Icon, a new mixed-use residential tower on Al Reem Island featuring 140 homes and a range of family-focused amenities.

The project is being developed by Cosmo Developments and is fully managed and supported by Reportage Group. Its design is based around a “Poise in Motion” concept, using curved forms and flowing architectural lines to give the building a distinctive identity within its waterfront setting.

Marlin Icon will occupy a plot of approximately 1,997 sq m and comprise three basement levels, a ground floor, four podium levels and 21 upper floors.

The development will include apartments and selected duplex residences, together with four retail units at ground and lower-ground levels. Current project information also indicates that the residential mix includes two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, with handover targeted for Q4 2030.

Homes will feature private balconies or terraces, built-in bedroom wardrobes and double-glazed windows. Fibre-optic connectivity and a satellite master antenna system are also included within the residential specifications.

Shared facilities will include a gymnasium, swimming pool, children’s pool and play areas, while four passenger elevators and a service elevator will provide vertical circulation throughout the building.

Andrea Nucera, Managing Director at Cosmo Developments and Group Managing Director at Reportage Group, said: “Cosmo Developments brings together Flag Holding’s investment perspective and Reportage Group’s development expertise. Marlin Icon demonstrates how this partnership translates a shared ambition into a distinctive residential offering, supported by our capabilities across development, delivery and long-term management.”

He added that Abu Dhabi remains central to the group’s growth plans, with the company aiming to build a diversified portfolio focused on long-term value for residents and investors.

The tower’s Al Reem Island location places it within easy reach of several major Abu Dhabi destinations. Al Reem Central Park and Shams Boutik are around four minutes away by car, while Reem Mall is approximately eight minutes away.

Louvre Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Mall are around 10 minutes from the development, The Galleria is approximately 11 minutes away and Saadiyat Island is about 12 minutes away.
