UAE Developer Deploys Mortgage Partner to Accelerate 430-Unit Handover Process
Mortgage specialist embedded to streamline buyer financing at 430-unit Dubai project.
Helvetia Residences, DHG Properties’ first residential project in the UAE, is approaching handover with a dedicated mortgage support structure now in place. The 430-apartment development in Jumeirah Village Circle has established an operational partnership with Huspy, the UAE’s leading mortgage provider, to manage the financing process for buyers from pre-approval through disbursal.
The collaboration targets a practical bottleneck in residential delivery: the gap between construction completion and buyer readiness to close. By embedding mortgage guidance into the customer journey, DHG Properties and Huspy aim to reduce delays in final payment preparation and streamline the transition to ownership. Buyers will have access to comparative rate information across more than 20 banks, along with preferential rates or fee-related benefits where applicable.
The operational scope extends beyond new buyers. Existing homeowners can use Huspy’s platform to review current financing arrangements and explore refinancing or equity release options, widening the infrastructure’s utility across the project’s full customer base.
The partnership was formally introduced during a signing ceremony at DHG Properties’ office in Park Heights Square in Dubai Hills, bringing together senior representatives from both organizations.
Milos Antic, Executive Vice Chairman of DHG Group, framed the arrangement as an extension of delivery responsibility. “As we approach the completion and handover of Helvetia Residences, our focus is not only on delivering a high-quality home, but also on making the transition to ownership as smooth as possible for our customers,” Antic said. “Our partnership with Huspy gives buyers access to expert mortgage guidance and a broad range of financing options at an important stage of their journey. It reflects our commitment to providing a high standard of service that extends beyond the development itself.”
Fouad Chemlati, CEO UAE at Huspy, described the partnership in operational terms. “Buying a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Through this partnership, Helvetia Residences buyers will have direct access to Huspy’s mortgage expertise, technology and network of more than 20 banks, helping them compare their options and make informed financing decisions with confidence. Together with DHG Properties, we are making the journey from purchase to handover simpler, clearer and more efficient.”
Helvetia Residences comprises studios through three-bedroom units built to Swiss-quality standards. The high-rise is the first of DHG Properties’ Helvetia-branded projects in Dubai, part of a broader portfolio that includes Helvetia Verde in Meydan Horizon and Helvetia Marine on Dubai Islands.
DHG Properties sits within the Swiss-headquartered DHG Group, which operates as an investment, real estate and construction entity with more than 30 years of operational history and over 300 completed projects. The developer brings Swiss construction standards to the UAE market, emphasizing contemporary design and long-term value positioning across its residential pipeline.
Huspy, for its part, serves more than 15,000 homeowners and maintains established relationships with more than 20 banks, delivering end-to-end mortgage processing from initial consultation through final approval. The organization positions itself as an impartial advisor tailoring mortgage guidance to individual client needs.
The partnership structure allows DHG Properties to defer mortgage logistics to a specialized operator while retaining control over the buyer experience at the point of handover. For Huspy, the arrangement expands its addressable customer base within a major residential delivery pipeline. The collaboration is a concrete example of how residential developers are increasingly outsourcing financing infrastructure to third-party operators rather than managing mortgage support in-house. Whether that model accelerates handover timelines at Helvetia Residences, or simply smooths the process for buyers already committed, will become clear as the project moves toward completion.
