Blagoje Antic: Visionary Leader Behind DHG

Blagoje Antic is the visionary founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer of DHG Holding AG, an internationally respected real estate and construction group headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. With more than three decades of uninterrupted growth under his leadership, he has built DHG into a fully integrated real estate platform—covering the entire property lifecycle from development and construction to asset, facility, and real estate management.

Originally from Serbia, Mr. Antic moved to Switzerland as a young man and began his entrepreneurial journey in 1994, focusing on renovation and reconstruction projects. Through strategic foresight, operational excellence, and a commitment to long-term value creation, he steadily expanded the company’s capabilities and reach. By 2002, he had entered the investment sector, and since then has been acquiring and managing residential and commercial assets across Switzerland. This laid the foundation for further vertical integration into property development and construction in 2007. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive service ecosystem, Mr. Antic established DHG’s facility management division in 2011.

With five key business divisions—real estate development, construction, real estate management, facility management, and hospitality—the group has become a major player in the Swiss real estate market, delivering more than 300 development and redevelopment projects.

A strategist with a global mindset, Blagoje Antic launched DHG’s international expansion in 2020 with entry into the Serbian market, followed by the establishment of DHG Properties in Dubai in 2022. In just two years, he has positioned the group as a serious contender in the UAE's competitive real estate landscape, with three active developments comprising over 600 premium apartments in elevated lifestyle communities.

Blagoje Antic’s leadership is defined by a rare combination of hands-on passion for construction and strategic mastery of complex real estate ecosystems. Known for his personal presence on construction sites, he ensures that every project upholds the highest standards of Swiss quality and precision. His deep market insight, analytical thinking, and ability to anticipate trends are backed by decades of experience across the construction and real estate sectors. A champion of operational efficiency, he has built high-performing business models across all five divisions of DHG. His rigorous approach to financial management and consistent focus on quality control have been instrumental in establishing DHG’s reputation for reliability, excellence, and value creation.

Throughout his career, Mr. Antic has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to sustainable growth, responsible entrepreneurship, and excellence in execution. His ability to envision long-term value, while adapting to evolving markets, has made DHG a trusted name in real estate across Europe and the Middle East.
