What's in a Name?
Similarly named MAG 214 is said to come from the firm's owner's personal details, ala 2 wives and 14 children . The meaning of 218 as well as 220 and similar numbers used in the names of other MAG towers is open to speculation.
The developer will be asked to explain the name MAG 218.
Update:
As noted in the write-up on the 12 November interview with the GM of MAG PDD, the number 218 is simply a continuation of the series begun with 214. Furthermore, the use of MAG is part of the companies desire to establish its name and reputation. (The GM did not, however, explain why the series begins with 214.)
Other towers are already on the drawing board with names like MAG 220, MAG 224, etc.

I do not know why the tower is called MAG 218. The company has so many MAG towers it becomes confusing! The MAG 218 looks very nice though!
Kind regards,
Martijn

Interestingly there is a poster of the MAG 218 tower's earlier rendition in the Asteco office in Abu Dhabi. The top is missing the interesting lattice-work, instead having 2 sides rise slightly higher with a slight outward projection. Difficult to describe but the building in that design looked totally unattractive. The crowning lattice-work seems to make all the difference as for aesthetics.
