Samuelson Development, LLC has become synonymous with elevated living in the Black Hills. Anyone who’s either lived in or has visited a Samuelson apartment knows that this team of professionals has worked hard to bring big city luxury to the Black Hills by offering things like full fitness centers, resort-like clubhouses and double-wall construction.
“The quality of construction along with how we take care of people is the foundation of our culture,” said President of Samuelson Development, John M. Samuelson. John M. went on to say that achieving this level of excellence wouldn’t be possible without his remarkable team.
