Dubai, April 10, 2026 — Haiwan Properties, Dubai's premier Chinese-focused real estate consultancy, today announced a landmark strategic partnership with SmartRent Dubai, the emirate's largest technology-driven property management platform. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Haiwan's mission to deliver end-to-end investment solutions for Chinese high-net-worth individuals.
The partnership integrates SmartRent's AI-powered property management system directly into Haiwan's client service portfolio, enabling investors to monitor their Dubai property portfolios in real-time through a Mandarin-language interface. Key capabilities include automated rental collection, predictive maintenance alerts, tenant screening, and dynamic pricing optimization powered by machine learning algorithms.
"This partnership addresses a critical pain point for our Chinese clients," said the CEO of Haiwan Properties. "Historically, overseas investors struggled with property management due to distance, language barriers, and lack of local expertise. Now, through our integrated platform, clients can manage their Dubai assets as seamlessly as their domestic investments—entirely in Chinese, with 24/7 support."
The collaboration launches with immediate effect and covers over 2,500 managed units across Dubai's prime residential districts. Haiwan Properties clients will benefit from:
-
Zero management fees for the first 12 months on new property acquisitions
-
Guaranteed rental yield program: Minimum 6.5% annual return or Haiwan covers the difference
-
Smart home integration: Complimentary IoT device installation for properties purchased through Haiwan
-
Quarterly Mandarin investment reports: Detailed performance analytics with market insights
The announcement coincides with Haiwan Properties' expansion into the luxury short-term rental market, targeting Dubai's booming tourism sector. The firm has secured exclusive management rights for 180 high-end apartments in Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, marketed specifically to Chinese tourists through partnerships with Ctrip and Fliggy.
"Chinese visitors to Dubai increased 67% in 2025, yet less than 15% stayed in professionally managed properties," noted the CEO. "We're bridging that gap, creating a new asset class for our investors while serving an underserved market segment."
Haiwan Properties plans to onboard 50 additional staff this quarter, including 20 Mandarin-speaking property managers and 10 data analysts to enhance its AI-driven market prediction capabilities. The firm also revealed it is in advanced discussions with two major Chinese banks to launch Dubai mortgage products denominated in offshore RMB, further reducing currency risk for investors.
