Dubai’s Luxury Residential Landscape

In a significant development for Dubai’s upscale real estate market, DHG Properties has launched construction on Helvetia Marine, an exclusive waterfront residential complex nestled within Dubai Islands. This project highlights a burgeoning demand for coastal living in the Emirate, pointing toward a vibrant future in the luxury housing sector.

Strong Demand for Coastal Residences

Recent data from the Dubai Land Department reveals that the real estate sector continues to flourish, reporting transactions of AED 68.56 billion in April 2026—a remarkable increase of over 20%. The interest in off-plan properties, especially those with waterfront views, is steadily rising, fueling a surge in sales and investments. Helvetia Marine, fully sold out before construction even began, stands as a testament to this trend, showcasing a keen appetite for high-quality residences in premier locations.

An Attractive Coastal Destination

Strategically situated in Dubai Islands—a large-scale coastal development rapidly transforming into a prime living destination—Helvetia Marine benefits from its enviable location. The area has emerged as the leading site for off-plan apartment sales, recording AED 2.6 billion across 691 transactions in a single month. With total off-plan sales hitting AED 7.9 billion from January to April, Dubai Islands is solidifying its reputation as one of the most sought-after waterfront locales in the city.

A Vision for Luxury Living

Spanning a built-up area of 12,938 square meters, Helvetia Marine is designed as a low-rise, aesthetically pleasing residential community. It features an array of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, along with select duplex and garden homes. Borrowing design cues from coral architecture and yacht interiors, the project blends luxury with functionality. Residents will benefit from elements such as double-height ceilings and private outdoor spaces, complemented by luxury amenities like a panoramic rooftop infinity pool, landscaped gardens, and fitness centers.

A Response to Evolving Buyer Expectations

Blagoje Antic, CEO and Founder of DHG Group, emphasizes the project’s alignment with the changing preferences of modern buyers. “The complete sell-out of Helvetia Marine before its completion signifies shifting expectations toward waterfront living that prioritizes privacy, design, and long-term investment value,” he notes. The development aims to merge Swiss quality with the evolving requirements of the Dubai market, ensuring that it resonates with today’s discerning clientele.

Future-Ready Developments

Milos Antic, Executive Vice Chairman of DHG Group, points out that Dubai Islands is destined to attract a new wave of buyers keen on innovative living options. He notes that long-term planning and sustainability are critical elements driving this momentum. “Helvetia Marine is strategically designed to cater to a future-focused audience seeking well-connected and lifestyle-oriented coastal living,” he asserts.

As Helvetia Marine progresses through construction, DHG Properties is committed to expanding its influence in Dubai’s flourishing districts. Their initial project, Helvetia Residences in Jumeirah Village Circle, is expected to complete by July 2026, alongside ongoing developments like Helvetia Verde in Meydan Horizon. Collectively, these ventures represent a crucial component of DHG’s vision to introduce Swiss-quality real estate to the diverse landscape of Dubai.
