Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.

Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date
of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer
claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get
revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
About the building
66-storey residential building in Al Sufouh 2, currently under construction. Developer — MERED. Architect — Pininfarina.
Specifications for Iconic Tower as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet.
They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
About the project
Iconic Tower is a 66-storey residential building in Al Sufouh 2, handover is due Q1 2028.
The developer is MERED. The architecture is by Pininfarina.
The building holds 311 apartments in total.
The database has nothing for this project at the moment: lots come and go here, and it refreshes nightly.
A 66-storey tower by MERED, designed with Pininfarina, in Al Sufouh: 310 apartments and one penthouse, facing Palm Jumeirah.
Who is building what
The developer is MERED, and the architecture is by Italy's Pininfarina — the studio behind Ferrari and Maserati bodywork. It's not the first time a car-design house has worked on a Dubai residential project, but here Pininfarina is responsible for the tower itself, not just interior finishes.
Per the listing: 66 storeys, 310 apartments and one penthouse. General contractor Sera Group, with the main works carried out by TAV Construction and the foundation by Dutch Foundation Company. Construction began in September 2024, with handover stated for late 2027 to early 2028.
The plot is in Al Sufouh 2, on the border of Dubai Internet City and Media City, facing the Palm. This is a coastal corridor with dense office development around it: rental demand here comes from employees of neighbouring companies, not tourists.
What's in the gallery
The images are official developer renderings. There's exactly one exterior shot: the tower's silhouette in mist. Everything else is common areas and apartments — a podium pool, a yoga hall, a bar, a cinema, a lobby with reception, a spa, a gym, bedrooms and living rooms, an elevator lobby.
One separate shot shows an underground car park with marked spaces for supercars. For a project sold on the Pininfarina name, that's not an incidental detail — it's addressed directly at a buyer with a garage, not just one car.
Interiors, engineering and recognition
Pininfarina's brief went beyond the tower's silhouette to the interiors of the shared spaces: a lobby in natural stone, wood and fabric, with light treated as part of the design, and Italian furniture by Zanotta and Tacchini. Show apartments opened for viewings in autumn 2024.
On the engineering side, the developer highlights a Japanese Daikin air-conditioning system with air purification. In March 2024 the tower won the Pillars of Real Estate Awards prize for Project of the Year with Best Architecture. MERED is the Dubai arm of Russia's Pioneer Group.
Renderings — official MERED archive materials. Storeys, number of apartments, architect, contractors, construction start and stated timeline — public project announcements and the project listing. Lobby interiors, furniture, air-conditioning, show apartments and award — project materials, March 2024 to January 2025.
Where it is
The pin is placed by district — I send the exact address on request.
Nothing in the stock for this project right now
The stock refreshes every night, and lots here appear and go. Message me — I will check the closed bases and suggest the nearest alternatives in Al Sufouh 2.
The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — under off-plan plans that is
40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security,
and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and
we will look at what the developer will accept.
The sales-launch announcement says Q1 2028. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
Where is Iconic Tower?
Al Sufouh. The quiet strip between Media City and Umm Suqeim: beach on one side, business parks on the other, and very little in between.
How much does an apartment in Iconic Tower cost?
There are no open listings for this building in the database right now. I will check the price for a particular layout against the closed databases and send it with the deal costs worked out.
In 2023 Pioneer (trading as MERED), Orange Group and Vos’hod announced UAE entries. By autumn 2026 the 66-storey, 310-unit Iconic Tower had reached level 22 with handover due 2027–28, Orange runs a completed 115-key building in JVC, and Nobu on Al Marjan has slipped to 2028.
Mered has entered Abu Dhabi with a 240 000 sqm waterfront project on Oval Bay, designed by Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron, complete with a private marina. Handover is set for March 2029; deep-foundation works began in spring 2026.
Where this project stands today
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
