    A Sub-developer is an entity licensed to conduct real estate development that is granted the right by a Master Developer to develop a specific part of a larger Master Project. Their activities must align with the Master Community Declaration and the overarching plans for the community. Sub-developers are responsible for disposing of units within their specific project and must comply with all DLD and RERA regulations regarding off-plan sales, escrow accounts, and the eventual handover of the property to buyers.
