DHG's Jumeirah Village Circle project on track for H1 handover
With 25% of the construction work already completed, the project is well on track for its expected June 2026 handover.
Giving a project update, FHG Properties said structural works have reached the 7th level of the building, following the successful completion of the ground floor, three podium parking levels, and the first two apartment floors.
Infrastructure installations are carried out simultaneously, while major milestones have been achieved in blockwork, plastering, and interior finishing across multiple levels, it stated.
In line with DHG's commitment to delivering Swiss quality, a dedicated team of Swiss specialists is scheduled to come in April to oversee the project's execution and ensure every detail reflects the precision and craftsmanship synonymous with the DHG brand.
Blagoje Antić, Chairman of the Board and CEO of DHG Group, said: "The continued progress at Helvetia Residences reflects our team's dedication to delivering a landmark project in Dubai"
"Backed by our Swiss heritage, we remain committed to the highest standards of design, comfort, and functionality - not only for this project but also for our future developments, as we have ambitious growth plans in this market. We are excited about our second development in Meydan Bu Kadra as we continue to bring extraordinary developments for Dubai residents," stated Antic.
Helvetia Residences, he stated, has attracted a diverse mix of local and international buyers, particularly from Europe, which resulted in 90% of the units being sold in less than a year since sales began.
"This is a strong testament to DHG's track record of developing projects that blend premium Swiss quality and affordable luxury living concepts. The strong sales performance is supported by the sustained investor confidence in Dubai's off-plan sector, which accounted for over 60% of total property transactions in 2024," he noted.
With robust infrastructure development and a positive economic outlook, demand for off-plan properties is expected to continue growing throughout 2025, he added.

The power of a human brand voice
How often have you run into someone after many years and not recognised them at first? Many times, or perhaps most times, and this could be due to various reasons: Their hairstyle might have changed, they may have lost a little weight here and there, aged a bit perhaps? Or it could simply be your own memory of a brand has more holes than Swiss cheese! When you do start talking to that person however, it all starts coming back to you. You know why? It's your memory recognising and processing their vocal patterns – their voice, the way they speak, their choice of words, syntax, tone, inflection, emotional expression and many other factors. Research suggests that voices are highly distinctive, and because we associate them with emotional and social experiences, we tend to recall them with greater accuracy. This is why hearing a familiar voice can trigger memories and emotions even if we haven't seen or spoken to the person in years and will bring back immediate flashbacks so the likelihood of recognising someone more easily by their voice than by their appearance, is higher. As humans, each one of us possesses a unique 'verbal signature,' making our voice, spoken words and speaking style distinct and instantly identifiable. This signature ensures that whatever we say can be unmistakably traced back to us and people will remember us for years to come. In the same way and for the very same reasons, in the world of advertising, all brands need to have a brand voice – when I say brand voice here, I am not referring to the brand's virtual identity, but rather to an authentic, consistent, and distinctive human voice that embodies and communicates the core values and essence that the brand stands for. This strategy serves three key purposes that drive all brands: recognition, memorability and impact. How? A strong human brand voice ensures that every message is instantly recognisable and resonates with the audience. This voice becomes synonymous with the brand itself, their personality and their slogans. Just as a distinctive logo or style can make any brand memorable, so can a human verbal signature. Just like brands invest heavily in sonics, music design and catchy taglines, they need to invest in a human voice which will serve as the embodiment and summary of everything the brand represents. When a human voice is used to personify a brand, it will give it almost human qualities that are inherently relatable and engaging. By 'speaking', this voice allows the brand to interact directly with their audiences, thus creating a deeper emotional connection. Moreover, a well-crafted and consistent human voice can reflect the brand's values, tone, and personality, allowing it to express nuances of meaning, emotion, and intent that text or images alone cannot convey. This is what will augment the brand's overall impact on its audience. Consistency here though, is fundamental. The world of voiceovers can be incredibly enticing, much like being in a candy shop. While the wide variety may be alluring, it's important to resist the temptation to sample everything or constantly switch between options. Brands need to focus on selecting the perfect 'sweet' and committing to it, as that one exclusive voice and delivery is what will solidify the brand's presence in people's minds. In a fast-paced world dominated by social media, constrained budgets, overworked slogans, high turnover of creatives, hierarchical challenges, and the constant pressure to please clients, let us not forget the enduring power of that one human voice that will strengthen your brand awareness. If you want your campaigns to stand the test of time, choose a consistent human voice that resonates deeply with your brand and remains distinct, amidst the noise of overused voices and fleeting trends.

Plane imports discussed as part of Swiss-US tariff impasse, airline says
Discussions on how to lower Switzerland's tariff burden with the United States have broached importing aeroplanes, Swiss International Air Lines said on Wednesday, as the country seeks to reduce its trade surplus with the U.S.. Swiss officials and business leaders are trying to craft a plan that will persuade the U.S. to reduce the tariffs of 39% imposed last week on Switzerland by the Trump administration, to the dismay of the Swiss government. U.S. President Donald Trump has cited the country's trade deficit in goods with Switzerland - more than $38 billion in 2024, according to U.S. figures - as grounds for the tariffs. Among the business executives who accompanied top Swiss government officials in Washington last week during a last ditch push to avert the tariffs was Jens Fehlinger, CEO of Swiss International Air Lines, a unit of Germany's Lufthansa. Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger reported that Fehlinger had pitched the idea to the Swiss officials of having Lufthansa process future purchases of Boeing aircraft through Switzerland in a bid to cut the U.S. trade deficit. Responding to a question on the report, Swiss International said the talks over trade included discussion about the "framework conditions for aircraft imports and possible options – for the Lufthansa Group, SWISS, the United States, and U.S. companies". "Any substantive statements on these considerations and the negotiations themselves remain the responsibility of the relevant government agencies," it added. A source familiar with Switzerland's trade discussions said the plane import idea had arisen but was not very concrete. In a statement, Lufthansa said it was interested in the success of its Swiss unit and the Swiss economy. "Fleet procurement at the Lufthansa Group is carried out in close coordination with the airlines," it added. The Swiss economy ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the story.
