The Icon Tower

The Icon Tower is a residential development by Advanced Properties on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, comprising a single tower of 19 residences across a range of studio to four-bedroom layouts, with handover scheduled for March 2027.

# The Tower and Its Position on Yas South

Yas Island has spent the past decade building a case for itself as something beyond a leisure destination: a place people actually want to live. The Icon Tower positions itself in the Yas South district, an area that is still maturing but carrying real momentum as the island's residential identity consolidates.

The building takes a linear form, a deliberate architectural choice oriented to maximise open sightlines across the surrounding waterfront. At 19 units across a single tower, the scale is notably contained. This is not a mass-market high-rise but a boutique residential building, where low unit counts tend to produce quieter common areas and more manageable owner communities.

# Residences, Layouts and Sizes

The unit mix runs from studios of around 395 sq ft to a single four-bedroom residence stretching to 3,196 sq ft, offering meaningful range within a small building.

Studios are priced from AED 1,639,000. One-bedroom apartments span 637 to 967 sq ft, with prices ranging from AED 2,158,000 to AED 2,921,000 depending on configuration. Two-bedroom residences show the widest size variation in the building, from 1,234 sq ft to 1,827 sq ft, priced between AED 4,288,000 and AED 6,691,000. Three-bedroom apartments cluster between 1,747 and 1,965 sq ft, with prices from AED 4,159,000 to AED 5,984,000. The four-bedroom penthouse-scale unit is priced at AED 10,520,000.

Residences are delivered semi-furnished. Interiors follow a light-toned, minimalist approach. Service charges are set at AED 10 per sq ft annually, a figure worth factoring into yield calculations for investors considering the Abu Dhabi short-let market.

# On-Site Amenities

The amenity offering is straightforward: a swimming pool, a gym, and a dedicated children's pool at podium level.

There is no elaborate list of wellness facilities or co-working lounges here. For buyers who prioritise on-island access to the broader Yas leisure infrastructure over private in-building amenities, this may be entirely sufficient. For those expecting a full-service residential club, the expectation needs calibrating accordingly.

# The Yas Island Context

Yas Island's broader infrastructure is the real amenity package for residents of the Icon Tower. The island holds Yas Marina Circuit, host to the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix; Ferrari World Abu Dhabi; and Yas Waterworld. Yas Mall, one of the larger retail destinations in the emirate, is also on the island.

Abu Dhabi International Airport sits in close proximity, a material advantage for internationally mobile residents and for short-term rental demand. Road connections into central Abu Dhabi are direct, and Dubai is accessible via the E11 in under an hour under normal conditions.

# Who This Building Suits

The Icon Tower is a specific kind of proposition. The unit count alone, 19 residences in total, orients it towards buyers who want genuine low-density living rather than the anonymity of a large residential tower.

Investors focused on the Abu Dhabi holiday-rental market will note the island's sustained international draw and airport proximity. Owner-occupiers, particularly those with Formula 1 or leisure ties to the island, get a foothold in a district still in the earlier stages of its residential build-out, where capital appreciation tends to be less predictable but entry pricing reflects that uncertainty. At AED 1,639,000 for a studio and AED 10,520,000 for the largest unit, the range accommodates both the yield-focused buyer and the lifestyle purchaser sizing up something considerably larger.
