Custom Home Builder in Cherry Creek, Denver New Homes, Remodels & Additions in Cherry Creek
Cherry Creek is Denver’s best-known shopping district — Cherry Creek North’s blocks of locally owned boutiques, galleries, and restaurants, the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, and the Arts Festival every summer. North of the retail, the neighborhood turns residential: quiet streets running up toward the Denver Country Club, with the Cherry Creek bike path along the creek itself.
The housing on those streets is a mix — older single-family homes, brick rowhomes and duplexes, renovations, and new builds where an older house gave way. Land this close to the district is the value, and the three Caliber projects below show the range: a custom home, a modern rowhome, and a Craftsman renovation.

Building in Cherry Creek: Tight Sites, High Stakes
Building in Cherry Creek is urban building. Lots near the district are small to mid-size, neighbors are close, and access for crews and materials has to be planned, not assumed. Parts of the neighborhood support the rowhome and duplex forms you see on our project list; elsewhere it is single-family lots where zoning, setbacks, and lot coverage decide what a design can do.
The scrape-versus-renovate call here is mostly about the lot. When the existing house is a brick Craftsman with structure worth saving, a deep renovation gets you the location and the house — that is the Sherman Street project below. When the lot is the value and the house is not, a scrape and a new build, single-family or rowhome, is the honest answer.

What It Costs to Build in Cherry Creek
The straight answer, because it is the first question everyone asks: most Caliber custom homes cost between $450 and $750+ per square foot to build, depending on design complexity, finishes, and site. Most projects finish between $1.5M and $3M in hard costs — construction only, not including land or design. Projects for ultra-high-net-worth clients, with complex architecture and premium finishes, run $3M and up.
In Cherry Creek, land is the premium line item — lots near the shopping district trade on location, and demolition of an existing home adds to the total. Every home is priced for its specific size, design, finishes, and site, which is why our process ends with one confirmed estimate before construction starts rather than a guess. For the full breakdown, read our guide to what it costs to build a custom home in Denver, or see the cost answer on our FAQ page.
How a Caliber Project Works
Every Caliber project runs through the same three phases, on new builds and remodels alike:
1. Land Acquisition and Home Design
Caliber has built custom homes in Denver since 2006, working with the area’s top realtors, architects, and designers. If you are still looking for a lot in Cherry Creek — or deciding whether the house already on one is worth keeping — we will help you navigate your options based on your needs before design work starts.
2. Specifications Development
Details are what set a custom home apart, and keeping up with all of them can be overwhelming. We walk you through every decision and document each one in your personal Portal. Then we obtain bids from subcontractors and vendors based on your selections and confirm the overall estimate for your project.
3. Project Management & Home Construction
Once construction is underway, our dedicated team tracks each area of the build and follows all expenses with detailed billing, so you always know where your home stands. The project closes out with a full inspection and walk-through with a warranty company, and you receive a Close-Out Package with copies of all contracts, invoices, releases, city documents, manuals, and warranties.
