Khaleej Times
DHG Properties advances its UAE growth, focusing on Dubai and Abu Dhabi with three key residential projects showcasing Swiss quality and Dubai vision.
DHG Properties Eyes Strategic Expansion Across UAE
DHG Properties, the Dubai-based development arm of Swiss real estate giant DHG Group, is gearing up to broaden its footprint in the UAE. The company is capitalizing on the emirate’s strong fundamentals, including high living standards, robust investor confidence, tax benefits, and promising growth compared to mature global markets.
Blagoje Antic, Chairman, CEO, and Founder of DHG Group, confirmed that the future growth strategy will prioritize disciplined expansion in Dubai and a measured entry into other emirates, with Abu Dhabi highlighted as a key priority.
"Dubai and Abu Dhabi will remain central to DHG’s expansion strategy over the coming years, and we are optimistic about the strength and depth of our development pipeline," Antic shared with BTR.
A Legacy of Quality and Precision
With over three decades of experience, DHG Group has earned a global reputation in real estate and construction, delivering more than 300 projects covering 2.5 million square meters in Switzerland, Serbia, and the UAE. Its Dubai subsidiary, DHG Properties, injects Swiss precision and quality into Dubai’s dynamic property market.
Current Developments and Market Commitment
DHG Properties has launched three active projects under its Helvetia brand, each targeting distinct lifestyle preferences but united by the brand’s philosophy: "Swiss precision, Dubai vision." These include Helvetia Residences in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), nearing completion in July 2026, and two newer developments — Helvetia Verde in Meydan Horizon and Helvetia Marine on Dubai Islands, which broke ground in May and June 2026 respectively.
The company’s next phase focuses on strategic expansion throughout Dubai and entry into other emirates, emphasizing master-planned communities and emerging lifestyle hubs. These locations benefit from infrastructure-led growth and rising end-user demand, with an emphasis on wellness, smart features, and community-driven living, blending European design with Dubai’s unique lifestyle.
Spotlight on Helvetia Residences, JVC
Helvetia Residences marked DHG Properties' introduction to the UAE market. Located in Jumeirah Village Circle, the project embodies comfort, functionality, and wellness with smart layouts, premium finishes, sophisticated interiors, and practical amenities designed for everyday living.
The development achieved full sales well before completion and is on schedule for handover in July 2026. JVC has grown into a sought-after residential location offering excellent connectivity, affordability compared to prime districts, and expanding lifestyle infrastructure, attracting strong interest from international buyers who value quality.
Progress on Helvetia Verde and Helvetia Marine
Construction on Helvetia Verde in Meydan Horizon began in May 2026, with handover scheduled for the first quarter of 2028. The development benefits from Meydan Horizon’s emergence as a prime lifestyle destination with robust transport links and expected Metro expansion, enhancing accessibility and residential appeal.
Helvetia Marine on Dubai Islands broke ground in June 2026, having already sold out, signaling investor confidence. Completion is also planned for early 2028. Dubai Islands is shaping up to be a landmark waterfront community, recording Dh2.6 billion across 691 transactions in April 2026 alone.
Both projects underscore DHG Properties’ commitment to disciplined execution and timely delivery, prioritizing developer credibility and long-term value amid a market where buyers are highly discerning.
The Future of the Helvetia Brand in the UAE
Antic envisions strong long-term potential for the Helvetia brand within the UAE’s evolving real estate environment. The brand caters to buyers seeking quality, intelligent design, and lasting value in the affordable luxury segment.
With over 70% of residential transactions in Dubai occurring off-plan, buyer confidence is firmly linked to projects that promise long-term livability and are backed by developers with proven track records. Helvetia’s unique offering blends Swiss precision with Dubai’s modern lifestyle demands, featuring elegant architecture, spacious layouts, wellness amenities, and practical designs.
The brand appeals to various buyer profiles, from international investors focusing on stable, yield-generating assets to end-users searching for a comfortable, reliable home.
Implications for Real Estate Agents
DHG Properties’ expansion and emphasis on quality-driven, well-located projects underscore the market’s shift towards reliability and lifestyle-centric developments. Agents can capitalize on growing demand for well-executed off-plan properties, particularly those with strong delivery records and differentiated branding like Helvetia. Knowledge of emerging communities such as Meydan Horizon and Dubai Islands will be crucial for positioning clients effectively in Dubai’s competitive market.
