Marlin, Al Reem Island

Marlin, also called Marlin 1, is a planned Reportage residential project in Shams Abu Dhabi, on Al Reem Island. The project is planned as two high-rise residential towers. Reportage describes its plot as facing the Louvre complex with a full sea view.

Reportage plans 246 units and 18 residential floors, with apartments of 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms. The plot area is 4,308 sq m. Planned facilities include a swimming pool, a children's pool, a gym, a children's play area and a seating area. The ADGM project register lists Marlin as off plan, and the developer's construction update, read in October 2026, gives 18.55% progress. The project is part of the Shams master project on the island.
