Let our family show yours the way home.

Committed to community

Born and raised in Watford City, the Stenehjem family is deeply invested in their hometown's success. Siblings Peter, Erik, Kira, and Kristen represent the fourth generation of their family. Their roots in Western North Dakota of the latter date back to the early 1900s. Founded in 2006, Stenehjem Development is a continuation of our family's commitment to helping Watford City thrive.

Creating opportunity

We specialize in developing single and multi-family residential neighborhoods and commercial space. Our communities include vibrant living spaces, thoughtfully designed amenities, graceful landscaping, and convenient locations. We strive to offer solutions that fit every budget.

Vision for the future

Bakken oil development has transformed our once small town of 1,200 into a blossoming community. While oil brought many people here, continued opportunity and quality of life will make them stay. At Stenehjem Development, we believe quality housing is paramount to the continued growth of our community. Our goal is to support Watford City as a vibrant, prosperous, and liveable community, with limitless economic opportunity.
