DHG Group CEO Discusses Dubai Expansion in UAE Media

In both interviews, Blagoje Antic spoke about the company’s first development cycle in Dubai: from the approaching handover of Helvetia Residences in JVC to the groundbreakings of two new projects in Meydan Horizon and on Dubai Islands. He talked about principles behind a portfolio now valued at AED 1.3 billion (USD 350 million) across three active developments, and the ambitions that will take DHG further in the UAE real estate market. Particular emphasis was placed on emerging districts such as Meydan Horizon, where Helvetia Verde reflects DHG Properties’ strategy of identifying locations with strong long-term growth potential.

 

Arabian Business: DHG Properties accelerates Dubai expansion with Helvetia developments across emerging districts

"Breaking ground on Helvetia Verde is an important milestone in our UAE journey. It is the point at which our 'Swiss Precision, Dubai Vision' approach to real estate development begins to take shape in one of the city's most promising districts. Meydan Horizon is widely seen as one of Dubai's fastest-transforming districts, with infrastructure upgrades expected to significantly lift both rental demand and property values. For investors, this translates into strong long-term potential, while for residents, it offers greater ease of connectivity across the city.”

Khaleej Times: DHG Properties Targets Strategic UAE Expansion Amid Strong Market Fundamentals

“We see very strong long-term potential for DHG Properties and our signature residential brand in the UAE. Helvetia developments represent a proposition that resonates clearly with today's buyers: quality, reliability, intelligent design, and lasting value in the affordable luxury segment. Dubai's market has matured significantly — buyers are more discerning than ever, and with over 70% of residential transactions now happening off-plan, confidence is clearly gravitating toward developments built for long-term liveability, backed by developers with proven execution records.

The Helvetia concept brings Swiss-inspired precision together with Dubai's modern lifestyle expectations: elegant architecture, spacious layouts, wellness-driven amenities, and practical functionality designed for everyday living. It is a combination that speaks to a wide range of buyer profiles — from international investors seeking credible, yield-generating assets to end-users looking for a genuine, lasting home environment.”
