Newest first
The newest new-construction listings.
Fed straight from the local MLS and filtered toward new construction: newly built and under-construction listings appear as they hit the market, and sold homes drop off. The read on how new works in a built-out city is just below.
Buying here
Know that new here means rebuild or attached.
If a brand-new detached tract home is the requirement, the honest answer is that Holladay will not deliver it, since the developable ground is gone. Tell me whether a custom rebuild, an attached Holladay Hills unit, or a nearby city works better, and I will have the Holladay-area partner agent I work with track what is actually available.

The local read
What buying new looks like in Holladay.
New construction in Holladay is not a subdivision story, because there is no open subdivision land left. The city is roughly eight and a half square miles on the east bench and is essentially built out, so new here means one of two very different things. The first, and the most active current in the whole market, is the teardown-and-rebuild: a mid-century rambler or split-level comes down, or gets taken to the studs, and a brand-new modern custom goes up on a mature, tree-covered lot. A single street can carry a dated original next to a just-finished build. The second is the attached product at Holladay Hills, the redevelopment of the old Cottonwood Mall site along the Highland Drive frontage, where new townhomes, condos, and apartments are the city's newest construction at any kind of volume.
A straight word on names. Builder and project names move quickly, and the live grid above is the honest count on any given week, so this page does not promise you a specific development or builder. What it can do is filter the MLS to newly built and under-construction listings, and a local partner agent can tell you which Holladay Hills phases are actually releasing, which rebuilds are spec versus already sold, and what the finishes and the timeline really are. For the wider picture first, the Holladay guide and the full listings page are the two best starting points.
The rebuild path is its own kind of new, and the homework is mostly about the lot, not the floor plan. If you are buying the dirt and building, the lot dimensions, the mature trees, and the lane access matter more than the house standing there now. Holladay carries many narrow private lanes and large original lots carried over from its farmstead history, so on a rebuild parcel you confirm who owns and maintains any private lane, how utilities reach the lot, and whether any Big Cottonwood Creek irrigation-water shares attach, never assuming they do. The finished product on a settled, canopy-covered lot is the appeal, which is why so much of the high end is a rebuild, and these pages pair naturally with the luxury page and, for the pure price cut, homes over $1.5M.
Buying new is its own process, different from a resale. A finished spec, whether a completed custom or a Holladay Hills unit, you buy largely as-is; a to-be-built or to-be-rebuilt home lets you choose finishes but comes with a timeline and the risk of slippage. The decisive questions are what the base price actually includes versus the upgrades, the build timeline and the warranty, and on the Holladay Hills attached product the managing association and what it covers. Read Holladay prices by source rather than as one number, since the sources genuinely disagree here, and price each home to its own comparables. When a plan, a rebuild, or a spec home interests you, reach out and I will line up the local agent and read the contract with you.
What counts as new construction here
-
Teardown-and-rebuild custom: the most active current in Holladay. An original mid-century home comes down, or to the studs, and a new modern custom replaces it on a mature canopy lot. New-construction quality on settled ground, but you are buying the lot as much as the house, so read the dirt.
-
Holladay Hills attached product: new townhomes, condos, and apartments on the old Cottonwood Mall site along the Highland Drive frontage. This is the city's newest construction at any volume, and the lowest-priced way into Holladay. Financing on attached homes differs from a detached build.
-
Spec vs. to-be-built: a finished spec or a released Holladay Hills unit you buy largely as-is, with a known move-in. A to-be-built or to-be-rebuilt home lets you choose finishes but comes with a timeline and a lot premium. Read the base price against the upgrade list carefully.
-
Read base vs upgrades: 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, whether on a custom rebuild or an attached unit.
The local map
Where the new homes are going up.
New construction in Holladay does not concentrate in one subdivision, because the city is built out. It is a rebuild-and-redevelopment story: the attached product at Holladay Hills, and custom rebuilds scattered across the mature streets. Here is where to look, and what each setting really is.
Holladay Hills on Highland Drive
The redevelopment of the old Cottonwood Mall site, closed since 2007, along the Highland Drive frontage on the south edge. This is where the city's newest construction concentrates at volume: townhomes, condos, apartments, and retail still building out in phases. The attached homes here are the lowest-priced way into Holladay, and they carry a managing association, so read what it covers before you write.
Custom rebuilds across the older streets
Because the city is built out, most new detached construction is a scatter of lot-by-lot rebuilds on mature streets, modern customs replacing mid-century originals. A single block can carry a dated rambler next to a brand-new build. These turn up wherever a large canopy lot and an ambitious owner meet, so the address matters more than any project name.
The Walker Lane and Cottonwood corridor
At the top of the market, the estate corridor in southeast Holladay sees occasional new custom homes on gated acreage under old-growth trees. These are one-off, high-end builds on rare lots, not a development. On a lane parcel, confirm who owns and maintains the lane and how utilities and any irrigation shares reach the house.
The Mount Olympus foothill bench
The streets climbing east of Highland Drive toward Wasatch Boulevard, much of the area annexed in 2002 and 2015, draw ambitious rebuilds for the elevated views and quick canyon access. The grade and the snow are real up here, so on a new build confirm the driveway slope, the drainage, and the actual view line from the lot.
Infill near Holladay Village
Around the walkable town center at Holladay Boulevard and 2300 East, occasional new homes and small projects go up on infill lots within walking distance of City Hall, the Harmons anchor, and the Village shops. These trade on the park-once-and-walk location as much as the build itself.
Where there is no new land
There is no greenfield subdivision coming in Holladay; the developable ground is gone. If a portal shows a large new-home community in your Holladay search, confirm the actual city, because it may sit in a neighboring valley town. New here means a rebuild or an attached unit, not a fresh tract.
Before you buy new: what to ask the builder
Base price vs upgrades: the advertised price is rarely the finished number on a custom rebuild or an attached unit. Get the standard features list and the upgrade pricing in writing so you know what the home actually costs fully optioned.
The build or rebuild timeline: a to-be-built home runs on the builder's schedule, and timelines slip. Ask for the expected completion and what happens, in writing, if it moves, especially on a teardown where demolition and permits add time.
The warranty: new homes carry a builder warranty, and the terms vary. Confirm what is covered, for how long, and how a claim is handled before you sign, on a custom build and an attached unit alike.
The lot, the lane, and the water: on a rebuild you are buying the dirt. Walk the real width, depth, and slope, and on a private lane confirm who owns, maintains, and plows it and how utilities reach the lot. Ask whether any Big Cottonwood Creek irrigation-water shares convey, and never assume they do.
The managing association on attached homes: the Holladay Hills townhomes and condos sit under a managing association that maintains shared areas and sets rules, with ongoing costs. Get the recorded documents and the current cost in writing and read what it covers before you write an offer.
Who represents you: the agent in the builder's or developer's sales office works for the seller. The partner agent I connect you with reads the contract for your side, which as the buyer typically costs you nothing.

Quick answers
New construction shopping, answered.
Yes, but not the kind you find in the valley's growth suburbs. Holladay is essentially built out across its roughly eight and a half square miles, so there is no fresh subdivision land. New here means one of two things: lot-by-lot teardown-and-rebuild customs replacing mid-century originals, which is the most active current in the whole market, and the attached townhomes, condos, and apartments going up at Holladay Hills on the old Cottonwood Mall site. The live listings above are the honest count on any given week, and a local partner agent can tell you which rebuilds and which Holladay Hills phases are actually available.
Holladay Hills is the redevelopment of the Cottonwood Mall site, which opened in 1962 as Utah's first enclosed mall and closed in 2007. Along the Highland Drive frontage it is a mixed-use district of new townhomes, condos, apartments, and retail building out in phases. The attached homes there are the city's newest construction at any volume and the lowest-priced way into Holladay. The phases and what is releasing change over time, so the live listings above and a local partner agent are the way to see what is actually for sale.
A spec home is already built and you buy it largely as-is, whether a finished custom rebuild or a completed Holladay Hills unit, with a known move-in. A to-be-built or to-be-rebuilt home lets you choose finishes but comes with a timeline and, on a rebuild, the added time for demolition and permits. Spec is the faster path; to-be-built gives you more control. Both turn up in Holladay, and the live listings above show what is currently on the MLS. The townhomes page covers the attached side.
Because the advertised base price covers the standard features, and most buyers add upgrades and sometimes pay for landscaping or fencing separately, so the finished number can be well above the base. On a custom rebuild the lot premium and the dirt itself add even more. The fix is simple: get the standard features list and the upgrade pricing in writing up front, and price the specific lot. The luxury page gives you a feel for where the high-end rebuilds land.
It is a good idea. The agent in the builder's or developer's sales office represents the seller, not you, so having your own representation means someone is reading the contract, the warranty, the lot terms, and on attached homes the managing-association documents for your side. As the buyer this typically costs you nothing. I will connect you with a Holladay-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 construction moves between the MLS and the builders' and developer's own sales offices, so no single feed shows everything, and a built-out city like Holladay turns over new homes in small numbers. Tell me the part of town and the kind of new you want, a Holladay Hills unit, a finished rebuild, or a lot to build on, and I will have the Holladay-area agent I work with track availability across both and flag new releases. Pair that with a pre-approval so you can move when the right one comes up.
