ICONA Residence at Al Shamkha by Castor Real Estate Development is a boutique, gated residential community in Al Reeman, Al Shamkha, Abu Dhabi. Developed by Castor Real Estate Development, it is a completed community, handed over in Q2 2025, so buyers are purchasing a ready home rather than waiting for construction. The community comprises 46 homes in total, including studios, one, one-and-a-half and two-and-a-half bedroom apartments, together with the developer’s first duplex apartments, offering a distinctive, small-scale alternative to larger apartment towers. With homes currently in sale from AED 850,000, ICONA Residence combines boutique character with a practical price point.

The homes now in sale are one bedroom apartments, with eight homes available, and sizes from 966 to 1,069 sq ft for the homes in sale. That scale is generous for a one bedroom home, providing spacious, open-plan living that suits couples, young professionals and small families, as well as investors seeking a well-proportioned rental property. The payment plan is 30/70, with 10% on booking, 20% during construction and 70% on handover. Interiors feature spacious open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, high-quality finishes and premium materials, creating bright, contemporary homes that are easy to live in and easy to furnish.

ICONA Residence is positioned for families, young professionals and investors, close to schools, hospitals, shopping centres and parks. Its gated, boutique scale gives it a quieter, more private atmosphere than a large tower, while its location in Al Shamkha keeps everyday essentials and main road links within easy reach.

About ICONA Residence at Al Shamkha

The concept behind ICONA Residence is boutique living done well: a small community of 46 homes where design, privacy and shared facilities are given equal weight. The inclusion of the developer’s first duplex apartments, alongside studios and one, one-and-a-half and two-and-a-half bedroom apartments, gives the community a varied housing mix rarely found at this scale. Open-plan layouts and floor-to-ceiling windows maximise daylight and views, while high-quality finishes and premium materials provide a refined, durable interior that needs little additional work.

Because the community was completed and handed over in Q2 2025, buyers can judge the building, the finishes and the neighbourhood for themselves before committing. That certainty, combined with a starting price of AED 850,000 and a 30/70 payment plan, makes ICONA Residence particularly appealing to first-time buyers and investors who want a ready asset in a growing area of Abu Dhabi.
