What We Do
Design
Our in-house design team works closely with clients, councils, and consultants to create tailored designs that are both beautiful and buildable. Whether it’s a one-off home or a multi-unit scheme, we focus on solutions that suit the site, comply with regulations, and meet client goals. We also lead feasibility studies and early-stage planning to ensure every project is commercially and practically viable.
Develop
We’re experienced in unlocking the full potential of land — particularly around Nelson and Tasman’s CBDs where intensification is needed most. From identifying subdivision opportunities to navigating resource consent, we take care of the development process from start to finish. Our projects balance yield, amenity, and design quality to deliver long-term value for owners and communities alike.
Build
With a background in both residential developments and bespoke architectural homes, our team brings a high level of skill, care, and coordination to every build. We’re known for our attention to detail and seamless delivery across diverse project types. Whether we're building an apartment building or a single luxury residence, the same high standards apply — built by Johnson means built for the long haul.

Sierra Apartments
Sierra Apartments is a boutique collection of one-bedroom homes created for people who want modern living without the maintenance burden that often comes with larger properties. Designed for the way people live today, the apartments balance comfort and practicality with a clean, contemporary aesthetic that will age well over time.
The intent behind Sierra Apartments is simple: deliver a highquality, efficient home that suits a range of lifestyles — whether you’re purchasing your first home, downsizing into something easy-care and well located, or buying as a long-term investment in a proven Nelson suburb. The one-bedroom format has been carefully planned to feel spacious and functional, with open-plan living that supports everyday life as well as entertaining.
Architecturally, the building is contemporary yet understated. A restrained palette of durable, low-maintenance materials has been selected to provide a timeless street presence and reduce ongoing upkeep. Inside, the design emphasis is on light, warmth, and usability — creating homes that are easy to furnish, easy to live in, and appealing to a broad market over time.
Positioned on Main Road in Stoke and directly across from the green space of Isel Park, Sierra Apartments offers a balanced lifestyle: close to everyday amenities and transport, with immediate access to outdoor recreation and walking paths. It’s a location that continues to attract strong interest from owneroccupiers and tenants alike, making it an ideal setting for a development built around long-term liveability.

Testimonials
After building our first modest home as newlyweds in the 1970s, we returned to homebuilding nearly 50 years later after retiring and selling our long-time engineering business. During a visit to Bay View in 2020, we purchased a section off the plans and, after meeting Sam Johnson of Johnson Residential in 2022, began designing a home that reflected the natural beauty of New Zealand’s South Island with a touch of our Scottish heritage.The build was managed seamlessly by Sam’s team while we were living in Rotorua. We chose a mono-pitched design with cedar and stone accents reminiscent of my childhood farmhouse, along with a bright, modern interior full of colour and personality.Nine months after moving in, we’re still absolutely delighted with our warm, energy-efficient home. It captures stunning Bay views and has drawn plenty of admiration from neighbours—especially for its striking stonework.
"We recently built our first home with Johnson Residential late 2020. The 3 main drivers that led me to engage Sam were Quality, Professionalism and Competitiveness.I would not hesitate to recommend Johnson Residential for any type of building work and would defiantly use them again when we decide to build our next home."
"We purchased our home from Johnson Residential when it was nearing completion. Right from the first meeting Sam Johnson was open, personable and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble! The house itself has beautiful quality fittings and fixtures, together with some innovative design which clearly makes it stand out from the rest. We would totally recommend Johnson Residential to any prospective purchaser"
