land developer

Subdivision creator perhaps

A land developer is a person or company that buys undeveloped property and prepares it for construction—subdividing parcels, installing roads and utilities, securing permits—then sells the improved lots or builds on them.

The term often carries connotations of suburban sprawl or environmental impact: Land developers are buying up farmland outside the city.
