    How does the law define a Sub-developer?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A Sub-developer is a person licensed to conduct real property development who is granted specific rights by a Master Developer. This grant allows them to develop a designated part of a larger Master Project. Their operations must strictly follow the provisions set out in the Master Community Declaration. Like Master Developers, they must be classified correctly according to the legislation in force in the Emirate. They are typically responsible for the construction and sale of units within their specific sub-project area.
