New construction in Park City has become one of the most closely watched segments of our local real estate market. From Deer Valley® to Canyons Village and the growing Jordanelle corridor, new developments are reshaping buyer expectations around architecture, amenities, ski access, and long-term value. However, buying new construction in Park City works differently than purchasing a resale home — especially within luxury resort communities.
If you’re considering new construction in Deer Valley, Canyons Village, or one of Park City’s private golf communities, the most important first step is understanding how inventory is released — and how that may differ from what appears publicly on the MLS.
1) Reservations vs MLS Listings: How New Construction Inventory Is Released
One of the biggest misconceptions about buying new construction in Park City is assuming that all available inventory appears immediately on the Park City MLS. In reality, many luxury and branded developments follow a multi-phase release process that differs significantly from traditional resale properties.
In many new construction projects:
• Buyers may reserve residences before units appear on the Park City MLS
• Early availability is often communicated through developer channels and well-connected local agents
• MLS listings typically follow later, once formal public marketing begins
This means buyers relying only on public MLS searches may see opportunities after early reservation windows have already passed.
If your goal is to stay ahead of inventory, working with a local expert who tracks release schedules — not just MLS activity — is critical.

2) Why Deer Valley East Village is drawing Buyer demand
Deer Valley East Village has quickly become the focal point for new luxury development in Park City, Utah. Unlike legacy base areas that evolved organically over decades, East Village is being developed as a high-end modern ski village.
Key factors driving demand include:
• Direct access to Deer Valley®’s historic terrain expansion
• New lifts, infrastructure, easy access, skier services, and pedestrian-oriented planning
• A high concentration of luxury hotels and branded residential offerings
• Modern architecture, new construction standards, and resort-scale amenities
Current and upcoming new construction opportunities in Deer Valley include:
• Deer Valley East Village and surrounding developments at the Jordanelle
For many buyers, East Village represents an alternative to older inventory where true ski access and modern layouts may be limited.

4) Golf Community New Construction: A Different Buyer Profile
New construction in Park City is not limited to ski properties.
Private golf communities continue to see strong demand for newly built homes and custom builds, including:
• Tuhaye
Many of them offer private shuttle services and private ski lounges in Deer Valley® and at Park City Mountain.
In golf communities, new construction often competes directly with resale inventory — making build timelines, pricing strategy, and long-term resale positioning especially important.
5) How to evaluate a New Construction Purchase
New construction in Park City and Deer Valley appeals to buyers and investors for more than finishes and brand recognition.
Key considerations often include:
• Whether the residence is hotel-managed or third-party managed
• Rental policies and owner usage restrictions
• HOA structure and resort fees
• How inventory is released and absorbed over time
• Developers may phase inventory strategically. Early releases often differ in price from later phases. Know how future development phases may impact views, access, or overall experience.
Because every development operates differently, it’s important to evaluate each project independently rather than assuming all resort residences function the same way.
6) Why Independent Buyer Representation can make a different when buying in New Developments
When purchasing directly from a developer, buyers often work with the developer’s in-house sales team. It’s important to understand, however, that developer representatives are hired to represent the developer’s interests, not always the buyer’s. Independent buyer representation can provide added perspective and advocacy in several key areas, including:
• Interpreting release timing and pricing strategy, including how inventory may be phased or repositioned over time
• Comparing opportunities across the resort market as a whole, not just within a single project
• Evaluating long-term ownership considerations beyond initial marketing, such as resale dynamics, rental demand, and future competition
• Monitoring off-market or quietly released inventory that may not be broadly advertised
• Reviewing contract structure, deposit schedules, and management agreements
Local expertise becomes especially valuable in emerging resort areas where construction timelines, future phases, and surrounding development can materially impact both lifestyle and long-term value. The same is true within larger golf and master-planned communities, where resale properties often compete directly with new developer offerings and pricing strategies.
