What buying new looks like in Cottonwood Heights
Set the expectation first, because it is the whole story here. Cottonwood Heights is an essentially built-out east-bench suburb, platted mostly between the 1950s and the 1980s as the subdivision boom climbed toward the canyon mouths, and there is no greenfield left. So new construction is not a fresh subdivision you pick a lot in. It arrives three ways, and the live grid above is the honest count of what is actually new on any given week.
The first way is Canyon Centre, the mixed-use project at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, on Wasatch Boulevard just south of Fort Union Boulevard. The city approved it in 2014, and it now holds a hotel and a distillery restaurant. Its planned office building was never built. In 2024 the city let condos take its place, and a 36-unit condo building there went to the planning commission in February 2026. The second is the newer attached and mixed-use housing along the Fort Union Boulevard corridor, the lower-lying commercial spine on the 7000 South line, where the densest housing sits. One honest note on both: a real share of the newer attached housing here was built to rent, so verify the for-sale status of any specific project before you fall for it. The townhomes page is the natural companion search for the attached side of new.
The third way is the quiet one that actually produces most of the city's new homes: lot-by-lot rebuilds and major additions on established streets. A tired 1960s rambler on a good street becomes a remodel, a second-story addition, or a full tear-down and rebuild, and the most ambitious of those projects chase the view lots higher up the bench along Wasatch Boulevard. You get new-construction quality on mature ground, which is the appeal, but it also means a brand-new home can sit on a 1960s lot with 1960s neighbors, so read the home and the street together. Because the high end is where most of the ambitious rebuilds land, this page overlaps the luxury page and, at the top, the homes over $950K filter.
Buying new, whether a rebuild or an attached home, is its own process. The decisive questions are different from a resale: the permit history and whether the work was recorded correctly, the lot lines on a rebuilt parcel, the builder warranty, what a base price actually includes versus the upgrades, and on any attached or redevelopment project the CC&Rs and what they cover. One bench-specific layer: a rebuild on a sloped lot can put a daylight or walkout lower level over the grade, so confirm how the new mass sits on the old ground. When a project or a finished rebuild interests you, reach out and I will line up the local agent and read the contract and the permits with you.
What counts as new construction here
-
Lot-by-lot rebuild: the engine of new homes here. A full tear-down or studs-out reno on an established street creates new-construction quality on mature ground. Confirm the permit history and lot lines, because a brand-new home can sit on a 1960s lot.
-
Canyon Centre and the corridor: the mixed-use project at the Big Cottonwood mouth and the newer attached housing along Fort Union Boulevard. Honest caveat: much of it was built to rent, so verify the for-sale status of the specific project.
-
Major additions: a second-story addition or a large expansion is common on the bench, sitting between a remodel and a rebuild. Get the permits for the addition and confirm the new square footage was recorded.
-
Read base vs upgrades: on any builder's home the advertised base price rarely matches the finished number. Get the standard features list and the upgrade pricing in writing so you know the real cost before you commit.
The local map
Where the new homes actually are
New construction in Cottonwood Heights does not sit in one subdivision, because there is none to build. It scatters across the rebuild streets and concentrates in two redevelopment settings. Here is where to look, read by the way new supply actually arrives.
View-lot rebuilds up the bench
The single biggest source of new homes. Along Wasatch Boulevard and the high streets, ambitious tear-downs and studs-out rebuilds turn tired ramblers into new customs on view lots. You get new quality on mature ground, but confirm the permit history and how the new mass sits on the slope.
Canyon Centre at the Big Cottonwood mouth
The mixed-use project on Wasatch Boulevard just south of Fort Union Boulevard, at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Its planned office building was never built, and a 36-unit condo building there went to the planning commission in February 2026. UDOT plans a mobility hub for the canyon buses near this mouth too, so read the current status as buyer homework before you offer.
The Fort Union corridor
The commercial spine on the 7000 South line, the lower-lying north and west blocks, is where the newer attached and mixed-use housing concentrates. Honest note: a real share of it was built to rent, so verify the for-sale status of any specific project before you fall for it.
Infill near the mid-bench grid
Closer in around the Butler core, occasional new homes go up on the rare empty or cleared lot, plus major additions that effectively rebuild older ramblers. These sit on full city services with the civic center and schools a short drive away.
The larger later-phase streets
The 1970s-through-1990s phases up the bench hold larger lots that occasionally support a rebuild or a substantial addition without the higher-end view premium. A practical place to find newer quality a step below the marquee Wasatch Boulevard projects.
Attached housing as the entry
The newest attached homes along the corridor and at the redevelopment sites are the starting point into new construction here, lower-maintenance and lock-and-leave. Financing on an attached home differs from a detached one, and these typically have recorded CC&Rs, so read what they cover before you write.
Before you buy new: what to actually check
Permit history and the recorded work: on any rebuild or major addition, confirm the work was permitted and recorded correctly. New-construction quality on mature ground is the appeal, but verifying the paperwork is on you, not the seller.
Lot lines on a rebuilt parcel: a tear-down and rebuild can shift how the home sits, so confirm the lot lines, the setbacks, and any easements on the specific parcel rather than trusting the listing footprint.
For-sale vs built-to-rent: much of the newer attached housing at Canyon Centre and along the Fort Union corridor was built as rental. Verify the specific project is actually for sale before you spend time on it, especially on the attached side.
Base price vs upgrades: on a builder's home the advertised price is rarely the finished number. Get the standard features list and the upgrade pricing in writing so you know what the home actually costs fully optioned.
The warranty and the builder: new homes carry a builder warranty, and the terms vary. Confirm what is covered, for how long, and who stands behind it, and on a rebuild check the builder's track record yourself.
Who represents you: the agent in a builder's or developer's sales office works for them, not you. The partner agent I connect you with reads the contract for your side. Builders often cover the buyer agent fee, and your agent puts that in writing before you sign.

Quick answers
New construction shopping, answered
Yes, but not as a fresh subdivision, because the city is essentially built out with no greenfield left. New homes arrive three ways: lot-by-lot rebuilds and major additions on established streets, which produce most of the new homes; the Canyon Centre project at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon; and the newer attached housing along the Fort Union Boulevard corridor. The live listings above are the honest count of what is genuinely new on any given week.
Most often a rebuild. A tired older rambler on a good street gets torn down or taken to the studs and replaced with a new custom home, so you get new-construction quality on mature ground. The most ambitious of those projects chase the view lots up the bench along Wasatch Boulevard. The catch is that a brand-new home can sit on a 1960s lot with 1960s neighbors, so read the home and the street together, and confirm the permit history and lot lines.
Both exist, and that is exactly why you have to verify. A real share of the newer attached housing along the Fort Union corridor and at the redevelopment sites was built to rent rather than to sell. Before you spend time on a specific project, confirm it is actually for sale. The townhomes page covers the attached side, and the local agent can tell you which projects are for-sale and which are rental.
Because the advertised base covers the standard features, and most buyers add upgrades, and on a rebuild the lot and the finishes drive a wide range. The finished number can be well above the base. The fix is simple: get the standard features list and the upgrade pricing in writing up front. The luxury page gives you a feel for where the high-end rebuilds land, since the most ambitious new construction sits at the top of the market here.
It is a good idea. The agent in a builder's or developer's sales office represents them, not you, so your own representation means someone is reading the contract, the warranty, and on a rebuild the permit history and lot lines for your side. Builders often cover the buyer agent fee, and your agent puts that in writing before you sign. I will connect you with a Cottonwood Heights-area partner agent for the on-the-ground walkthrough and stay on the file for the homework and the financing, so you have a second set of eyes who answers to you.
New homes here move between the MLS and builders' or developers' direct sales, so no single feed shows everything, and on a built-out bench the truly new inventory runs lean. Tell me the part of town and the size you want and I will have the Cottonwood Heights-area agent I work with track availability across both and flag rebuilds and new releases. Pair that with getting pre-approved early so you can move when the right one comes up.
