Building in Edina
Edina is one of the Twin Cities' most established luxury markets, and it is effectively built out — which means nearly every new home here starts with taking one down. Teardown-and-rebuild luxury customs are the defining project type, concentrated in neighborhoods like Morningside, Indian Hills, Rolling Green, and the area around Interlachen Country Club.
The Country Club District deserves special mention: it is a locally designated historic district, and new construction and major exterior work there go through heritage-preservation review for massing, materials, and streetscape character. Builders who work in Edina regularly know this process and design for it from the first sketch rather than discovering it at permit time.
Because land values are high and most projects replace an existing home, budgets in Edina run well above metro averages — acquisition plus construction routinely lands in the seven figures. The upside is a deep bench of experienced luxury and custom builders competing for this work, which gives homeowners real choice in style, process, and price.
Part of what sustains those land values is lifestyle density: the shops of 50th & France and the Galleria, Southdale Center — the nation's first enclosed mall — Braemar Golf Course, and the paths around Centennial Lakes Park are all minutes from any neighborhood in the city, alongside nationally recognized public schools.
