Marlin Icon

Marlin Icon on Al Reem Island

Marlin Icon is a canal-front residential development in Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, designed to reflect fluid architecture, large proportions, and modern family living. The building rises above a podium that features retail at ground and below-ground levels. This provides residents with direct access to the surrounding city. Its architectural style is reflected through gentle curves, straight lines, and proportional forms that relate to the canal front location as opposed to competing with it.

The residential portion of the development comprises 140 residences: 65 two-bedroom apartments, 30 two-bedroom plus layouts, 35 three-bedroom residences, two three-bedroom duplexes, and eight four-bedroom residences. A prospective purchaser may therefore compare numerous options of varying sizes at one location. The development is being marketed for purchase within a waterfront community; however, no pricing details have been included in this marketing literature due to potential fluctuations in commercial arrangements. All buyers are encouraged to verify the specific layout, orientation, and canal views of their chosen residence.

Architecture, Interiors and Amenities

The soft-edged architecture of this project is complemented by a contemporary, sophisticated interior design. Each home that faces the canal has large proportions, high-quality glazing, and a tranquil selection of materials. The living spaces in each home are presented as being open, light-filled environments which offer expansive views of the water and the city beyond. A photograph can be used to show the curved form of the building's exterior and provide a glimpse into the character of the interior; a map can help define how Marlin Icon, Al Reem Island, downtown Abu Dhabi, and nearby communities relate to each other.

The development has common areas for its residents, including a residents' gym, swimming pool, children's pool, and children's playground. The development has 226 parking spaces and 4 retail units located on the podium level. These units provide residents with convenient everyday shopping options in addition to their residential units. The entire development consists of 3 underground parking garage levels, 1 ground level, 4 levels of podium development, and 21 levels of residential development. This development combines residential units, recreational facilities, and retail units to create a compact vertically-developed community that offers convenience and proximity to the water for households.

Al Reem Island Location and Connectivity

Marlin Icon is located on Al Reem Island, approximately 600 meters from the coastline of Abu Dhabi. The island is connected by bridges to downtown Abu Dhabi; however, it remains close to Al Maryah Island and Saadiyat Island. Al Reem Central Park is about 4 minutes away, Reem Mall is about 8 minutes, and Louvre Abu Dhabi is about 10 minutes from the location. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat Island are both located about 12 minutes away.

The Marlin Icon has many advantages, such as its location on the canal; it is relatively small with 140 residences; it has a variety of units, including those that would appeal to families; and it has an interesting and unique design. In addition, the Marlin Icon provides residents with easy access to all of the major shopping centers (Yas Mall), hospitals (Zayed International Airport), cultural attractions (Downtown Abu Dhabi), recreational facilities (Downtown Abu Dhabi), and public transportation systems (Downtown Abu Dhabi). This allows residents to enjoy the convenience of living in an urban environment, but also maintain the benefits of being able to live on the water.
