Dubai, UAE — DHG Properties, a Swiss developer active in the UAE, launched Helvetia Marine, its third project under the Helvetia brand on Dubai Islands. The low-rise development features 63 units inspired by coral architecture and yacht living, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments from 802 sq. ft. to 2,592 sq. ft., plus duplexes with five-metre ceilings and garden residences.
Amenities include a rooftop infinity pool with bar, podium gardens, yoga area, jogging track, gyms, social club, and children’s playground. The project contributes to DHG’s UAE portfolio, now valued at AED 1.3 billion (USD 350 million).
“Dubai Islands offers a rare combination of the tranquillity of a coastal sanctuary, the vibrant energy of Dubai’s shores, and the connectivity and convenience of a global city,” said Blagoje Antic, DHG’s Chairman of the Board and CEO.

He addes that with Helvetia Marine, they wanted to create a development that reflects this duality: residences that are just minutes away from the beach while providing easy and fast access to Downtown Dubai and other city’s landmarks. “We believe this harmony between coastal lifestyle and urban comfort is what will set Dubai Islands apart, and Helvetia Marine is our contribution to shaping that vision into reality.”
Dubai Islands Market Surge
Dubai Islands recorded nearly AED 3.5 billion (USD 953 million) in sales earlier this year, with H1 2025 transactions reaching AED 6.1 billion across 1,936 units, led by apartments. The area spans 17 sq. km. with 20 km of beaches, marinas, parks, and future metro links to Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport.
Off-plan sales in Dubai hit records in Q3 2025, with 42,000 units sold for AED 138 billion, comprising 76% of transactions, up 23.6% year-on-year, per Cavendish Maxwell. Knight Frank reports residential prices rose 2.5% in Q3, 10% annually, with aggregate volumes over AED 310 billion in nine months.
Appeal to Indian Investors
Indian buyers led Dubai real estate investments, pouring over AED 30 billion in 2024, drawn by tax-free returns, high yields, Golden Visas, and direct flights. Amid 2025 trends like 8-16% price growth and visa reforms, Dubai Islands offers mid-luxury entry with coastal upside.
