A holdout is a piece of real estate that did not become part of a larger development project, typically because its owner refused to sell it to the developer assembling the surrounding land. The result is often a small building left standing alone or awkwardly enclosed by newer construction, and examples of such holdouts have been documented in cities around the world.
