Dubai, UAE
DHG Properties, a Swiss real estate developer, has completed the vertical structure of Helvetia Residences, its inaugural project at Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) in Dubai, in only 12 months. Rising 25 storeys and spanning a built-up area of 73,000 square metres, the residential tower has already sold 400 units, accounting for 93 percent of the 430 units. It is scheduled for handover in Q2 2026.
The area (JVC) has emerged as Dubai’s most popular rental community, attracting over 214,000 page views for apartment listings, according to recent data from Property Finder, further underscoring the appeal of Helvetia’s prime location. The achievement also comes amid continued strength in the wider UAE property market, which recorded more than 96,000 property transactions in the first half of 2025 with a total value of Dh322 billion.
Blagoje Antic, DHG’s Chairman of the Board and CEO, said, “Completing the vertical structure in just one year is an achievement, but what excites us most is the trust this market has placed in us as a new entrant. For our first project in Dubai to sell more than ninety percent of its units before completion shows that the principles we have perfected in Switzerland – precision, reliability, and timeless design – translate seamlessly into the UAE market. It also gives us the confidence to introduce our new developments under the Helvetia brand as a long-term commitment to redefining premium living here, by combining Swiss quality with the Dubai lifestyle.”
Helvetia Residences has had buyers from an almost even split between local and European investors, particularly Swiss and German nationals, reflecting DHG’s strong reputation both in its home market and in the UAE.
Building on this success of Helvetia Residences and to reflect their Swiss legacy, DHG Properties has created Helvetia, a premium real estate brand under which the developer is set to launch two additional residential developments in Meydan Horizon and Dubai Islands.
