Five brand-new mansions from a single development quietly hit the market in Hidden Hills on Wednesday, dropping a sudden chunk of ultra-luxury inventory into one of the San Fernando Valley’s most guarded zip codes. The pitch is clear: big homes and low profiles, with sprawling indoor-outdoor layouts, private courts and equestrian amenities bundled in. In a city where buildable lots are tight, a multi-home rollout like this is unusual.
According to The Real Deal, TDR Development has finished five of the 14 planned homes in a collection that began marketing this week, with local agents May Nachum and Blair Chang leading the launch. The first batch of listings, on Bridle Trail, Jim Bridger and Fitzpatrick corridors, runs from roughly 11,000 square feet to more than 20,000, with asking prices between about $16 million and $40 million. “A $20 million house in Hidden Hills would be $40 million if you plopped it into Bel Air,” Chang told The Real Deal, framing Hidden Hills as the relative bargain in L.A. luxury terms.
The Collection at Hidden Hills
The Agency’s marketing hub for the project bills the lineup as a curated, off-market style portfolio and links out to several active MLS listings for completed homes, including properties priced in the mid-teens and mid-30s, according to The Agency. The materials lean hard on indoor-outdoor flow, oversized lots and a level of privacy it describes as distinctive for an incorporated city with fixed supply.
A $40M Top Listing And What It Includes
Douglas Elliman’s public listing for one of the largest homes in the group details a roughly 20,000-square-foot new estate on about 2.78 acres, priced at $39,995,000, matching the top advertised ask. The listing highlights a home theater, multi-lane bowling alley, expansive outdoor living areas and multiple garages, features that push the property toward roughly $2,000 per square foot based on the stated size and price.

Taxes And Timing That Matter To Buyers
Hidden Hills is an incorporated city with its own local government, so sales there are not subject to the City of Los Angeles’ Measure ULA transfer tax, a distinction brokers point to when explaining the area’s pricing edge. The Los Angeles Office of Finance notes that Measure ULA applies only to property transfers within the City of Los Angeles and that its thresholds are reset each July; the city’s online FAQ lays out the tiered rates and the upcoming July 1 adjustment. For buyers comparing enclaves, that exemption can translate into a six-figure difference on ultra-luxury deals, a practical detail that features prominently in the marketing.
What This Means For The Valley Market
Local brokers tie this launch to a broader West Valley story. Plans for a Kroenke Organization-led Warner Center redevelopment have helped shift investor attention toward Woodland Hills, while nearby retail and mixed-use upgrades around Calabasas are positioning the area as a more complete, high-end alternative to the Westside. Coverage in The Los Angeles Times and local marketing campaigns cite those projects as factors that could narrow the price gap between Hidden Hills and more expensive coastal enclaves. Brokers we reviewed say that trend, combined with the city’s built-in scarcity, sits at the heart of the sales pitch for these new builds.
For buyers hunting new construction behind guarded gates, the five publicly listed homes are a rare peek into Hidden Hills’ ultra-luxury pipeline. For agents and local watchers, the test will be whether these asking prices hold as the remaining nine homes in the 14-property collection edge toward completion later this year. Either way, the rollout is another sign that the Valley’s top-tier housing map is still in motion.
