New Construction Homes for Sale in Holladay, Utah

New construction in Holladay is a different animal than new construction in Daybreak or Lehi. Holladay was largely built out by the 1980s, so almost every new home here is an infill project — a teardown of a 1950s rambler on a quarter-acre lot, a custom build on a rare vacant parcel near Big Cottonwood Creek, or a small pocket development tucked behind Holladay Boulevard. That means you're usually looking at single-home builds from local custom builders rather than a tract subdivision, with prices that typically start around $1.5M and climb past $4M for larger homes near Cottonwood Country Club or in the foothills above Wasatch Boulevard.

The appeal is location: Holladay sits 15 minutes from downtown Salt Lake, 20 minutes from the airport, and 25 minutes from the base of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, so a new build here gets you ski-season access plus a mature tree canopy and walkable Holladay Village. Lot sizes tend to run larger than newer Wasatch Front suburbs, and buyers in this segment usually care about main-floor primary suites, finished basements, three-car garages, and modern energy specs that the surrounding 1960s housing stock can't match.

Common questions

About new construction homes in Holladay.

How much does a new construction home in Holladay typically cost?

Most new builds in Holladay list between $1.5M and $3M, with custom homes on premium lots near Cottonwood Country Club or in the east-bench foothills regularly exceeding $4M. The land cost is the main driver — teardown lots in Holladay often trade for $700K to $1.2M before a shovel hits the ground.

Are there any new subdivisions in Holladay, or is it all custom builds?

It's almost entirely custom infill and small pocket developments of 3-10 homes. Holladay is fully built out, so you won't find large master-planned communities here like you would in Herriman or Saratoga Springs. Most new homes replace older ramblers on existing residential streets.

Who are the active builders in Holladay right now?

The market is dominated by local custom builders rather than national production builders. Names that show up regularly on Holladay permits include Cameo Homes, Magleby Construction, Highland Custom Homes, and a handful of smaller boutique builders. Many buyers bring their own architect and builder rather than purchasing a spec.

Can I buy a lot in Holladay and build my own home?

Yes, but vacant lots are rare and expensive. Most buyers purchase an older home, demo it, and rebuild. Holladay City has specific zoning and design review requirements — setbacks, height limits, and tree-preservation rules in some areas — so it's worth talking to the city's planning department early in the process.

What school district serves new homes in Holladay?

Holladay falls within Granite School District. Common feeder schools include Howard R. Driggs, Oakwood, and Spring Lane elementaries, then Olympus Junior High and Olympus High. Cottonwood High also serves portions of the city, and several well-regarded private schools sit nearby.

How long does a custom build in Holladay usually take?

Plan on 14 to 20 months from lot purchase to move-in for a typical custom home, longer if the design is complex or requires variances. Demo and site prep on a teardown lot usually adds 1-2 months on the front end, and Holladay's design review process can add time depending on the neighborhood.
