Custom Estates · Spec Builds · Teardown-Rebuild · One-Acre Minimum Lots

New construction in Paradise Valley is not a production builder market. It is custom estates on one-acre-plus lots, spec builds by luxury builders, and teardown-rebuild projects that replace older properties with modern transitional and contemporary architecture. The listings below show publicly available new construction. For spec builds and near-completion projects that have not yet reached the MLS, contact me directly — many trade through agent and builder networks before listing publicly.

“In Paradise Valley, the lot is the investment and the home is the expression of it. A teardown-eligible parcel in the right micro-pocket is worth more than a dated estate in the wrong one. The new construction market here is fundamentally a land market.”
— Anne Sostman, The Scottsdale Agent

Know the Product

Three Types of New Construction in Paradise Valley.

There are no production builder subdivisions in Paradise Valley. The one-acre minimum zoning and exclusively residential character ensure that every new home is either a custom commission, a spec build by a luxury builder, or a teardown-rebuild on an established lot. Each has a different cost structure, timeline, and risk profile.

The build-vs-buy decision in Paradise Valley comes down to one question: is there a finished product in the right micro-pocket that meets your standards, or do you need to build it yourself? If the lot is the priority, building may be the only option. If the timeline is the priority, a completed spec build or a recent resale eliminates 18 to 30 months of construction.

Read the PV Buyer’s Guide

Custom Builds
Buyer commissions on their own lot. Full control over design, materials, and layout. $500 to $1,000+/sqft plus lot cost. 18 to 30 month timeline. The most personalized product and the most complex process.
Spec Builds
Luxury builder constructs without a specific buyer. Finished or near-finished. $4M to $10M+ typically. Speed and certainty with no construction management. Many trade through agent networks before listing.
Teardown-Rebuild
Older estate demolished, replaced with modern construction on the same lot. Most active on the East Border, Doubletree Corridor, and Mockingbird Lane. Each completed project raises the baseline for surrounding properties.

Yes. Custom builds, spec builds, and teardown-rebuild projects. No production communities. One-acre minimum lots ensure every new home is individually designed.
How much does it cost to build?
$500–$1,000+/sqft for custom construction, plus lot cost ($1.5M–$5M+). A 6,000 sqft custom on a $2.5M lot at $700/sqft = ~$6.7M total.
