Dubai, April 17, 2026 — Haiwan Properties, Dubai's premier Chinese-focused real estate consultancy, today unveiled "Family Office Dubai," a bespoke wealth management service designed for ultra-high-net-worth Chinese families seeking to establish multi-generational legacies in the Emirates. The offering represents the firm's strategic evolution from property transactions to comprehensive dynastic wealth advisory.
The service targets families with investable assets exceeding USD 50 million, providing integrated solutions spanning real estate acquisition, trust structuring, succession planning, and cross-border tax optimization. A dedicated team of 12 professionals—including Mandarin-speaking lawyers, tax specialists, and investment analysts—operates from Haiwan's new flagship office in Dubai International Financial Centre.
"Chinese family offices are the fastest-growing wealth segment globally, yet Dubai has been underserved in tailored services for this market," said the CEO of Haiwan Properties at the launch event attended by representatives from 23 prominent Chinese business families. "We're not selling apartments; we're architecting enduring family legacies that span continents and generations."
Core service pillars announced today:
-
Dynastic Real Estate: Curated portfolio of trophy assets—penthouses in Burj Khalifa District, waterfront estates on Palm Jebel Ali, and commercial towers in DIFC—with generational transfer structures
-
Private Trust Architecture: Partnership with Dubai International Financial Centre courts to establish DIFC-registered family trusts, offering common-law protections within civil law UAE jurisdiction
-
Succession Governance: Multi-generational education programs for heirs, including Dubai-based leadership academies and mentorship networks with established Emirati business families
-
Philanthropic Structuring: Integration with Dubai Cares and Mohammed bin Rashid Global Initiatives for high-impact charitable giving aligned with family values
The launch follows Haiwan's successful pilot with three pilot families in 2025, which collectively deployed USD 340 million across Dubai real estate, private equity, and venture capital. One participating family—the Chen dynasty from Shenzhen, with interests in technology manufacturing—has since established their global headquarters in Dubai South and committed to AED 1.2 billion in additional Emirati investments over five years.
"We chose Haiwan because they understood that our wealth is not transactional—it's transformational," said the family patriarch. "They've become our Dubai family, not just our Dubai advisors."
Haiwan Properties has engaged former senior officials from Dubai's Sovereign Wealth Fund and China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange as strategic advisors, ensuring regulatory fluency across both jurisdictions. The firm targets 50 active family office relationships by 2028, with aggregate assets under advisory exceeding USD 15 billion.
