DHG Properties Hands Over $200 Million Helvetia Residences in Dubai's JVC
Swiss real estate developer completes its first Dubai residential project, delivering 430 apartments and advancing plans for two additional UAE developments.
DHG Properties has started handing over apartments at Helvetia Residences in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), marking the company's first completed residential development in Dubai. The $200 million project, valued at approximately AED 734.5 million, represents a major milestone in the Swiss real estate group's expansion across the UAE.
Completed in two years, the 25-storey residential building comprises 430 apartments, including studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. The development offers more than 73,000 square metres of built-up area, with all units reported sold out.
Swiss Development Standards Come to Dubai
Helvetia Residences is the first UAE project delivered under DHG's Helvetia residential brand. The company says its approach draws on Swiss development standards, with an emphasis on construction quality, contemporary design and the residential experience.
The completion also marks an important step for DHG Properties as it establishes a longer-term presence in the Dubai property market. Its parent group, DHG, brings more than three decades of experience and a track record of over 300 delivered projects.
Blagoje Antic, chairman, chief executive and founder of DHG Group, described the handover as the realisation of the company's vision for the UAE. He said the development reflects its commitment to construction standards, homeowner experience and investor value.
JVC Strengthens Its Residential Appeal
Jumeirah Village Circle was selected for the company's first Dubai development because of its established residential community and appeal to homebuyers.
The project adds 430 apartments to Dubai's housing stock at a time when developers continue to deliver new residential properties across the emirate.
According to figures cited in the original report from the Dubai Land Department, 104 real estate projects were completed during the first half of 2026. These represented more than AED 111 billion in investment and added 24,537 residential units. The number of completed projects increased by 38.7% compared with the same period in 2025, while delivered units rose by more than 36%.
Homes Combine Smart Technology and Lifestyle Amenities
The development combines private residential spaces with facilities designed for fitness, recreation and outdoor activities.
Apartments include smart home features and premium materials. Shared amenities include landscaped spaces, a resort-style swimming pool, a children's play area and a fitness centre equipped by Technogym.
Residents can also use a jogging track and a rooftop padel court, adding recreational options within the residential complex.
Property Management Services Extend Beyond Handover
Alongside the apartment handover, DHG is expanding its homeowner support through DHG Property Management. The service portfolio includes real estate advisory, long-term leasing, short-term rental management and resale assistance.
The move allows the company to support property owners beyond the initial purchase and handover stage, including those who may wish to rent out or eventually resell their homes.
Two More Helvetia Projects Under Construction
DHG Properties is continuing to develop its UAE portfolio beyond JVC. Two additional projects are currently under construction: Helvetia Verde in Meydan Horizon and Helvetia Marine on Dubai Islands.
Together, these developments signal the company's intention to establish a broader presence in Dubai's residential market following the completion of Helvetia Residences.
The handover of its first project marks the transition from development to occupation for Helvetia Residences, while DHG prepares its next projects for future delivery.
