According to data released by the Dubai Land Department, total real estate transactions reached AED 68.56 billion in April 2026, registering growth exceeding 20%, reflecting continued confidence in the emirate's residential sector. Demand for off-plan and waterfront properties also maintained its momentum in recent months .

Dubai Islands emerged as the top-performing location for off-plan apartment sales in April 2026, recording 691 transactions worth AED 2.6 billion, while total off-plan apartment sales exceeded AED 7.9 billion during the period from January to April 2026[1], clearly reflecting the area’s status as one of the most vibrant and sought-after waterfront residential destinations in Dubai.

The Helvetia Marine project spans a built-up area of 12,938 square meters and features low-rise buildings with a carefully considered design. It offers a selection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a limited number of duplexes and private garden residences. The project's architecture draws inspiration from the captivating geometry of coral reefs, while its interior details reflect a luxury yacht-inspired lifestyle, creating a rare blend of understated luxury and practicality.

Some units feature double-height ceilings, private outdoor spaces adorned with trees and plants, and a living experience that enhances the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. The project also offers a variety of amenities, including a rooftop swimming pool with a skyline design and breathtaking panoramic views, along with landscaped gardens, fitness centers, and social spaces dedicated to residents.

Commenting on this, Blajoy Antic, Founder and CEO of DHG Group, said : “The Helvetia Marine project embodies our unwavering commitment to developing high-quality projects, focusing on prime locations that play a pivotal role in shaping the next phase of urban growth in Dubai. The project’s success in selling out completely confirms the growing demand from buyers for waterfront living, especially units that offer contemporary design, privacy, and long-term investment value. Our approach remains based on delivering Swiss quality and precision in markets that are experiencing sustained and strong demand .”

Milos Antic, Vice Chairman of DHG Group, stated : “ Dubai’s islands are experiencing rapid development, driven by the scale of sustainable planning taking place around them. This growth is making them more attractive to new categories of buyers looking for options that go beyond traditional residential offerings. Today’s buyers evaluate projects from a future perspective that monitors how residential communities will develop over the next decade. Therefore, we were keen to design the Helvetia Marine project to meet the growing demand for coastal housing, by providing a fully integrated, privacy-conscious environment that pays attention to the smallest details that distinguish the Helvetia brand .”
