WHO IS NILE?
WE BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO.
When clients commit, the do not commit to the founders who have long since retired. They commit to our staff, because they like them
and find confidence in them. Clients will know the people who will get the job done, who will fight hard to succeed for them, and enjoy the camaraderie of the team.
HISTORY
Lightowler Johnson Associates, Inc., a long-established Fargo-based architecture and engineering firm specializing in hotel design, was acquired and dissolved in 2019, along with its subsidiary WAI Continuum/Lightowler Johnson Associates Minnesota - a firm specializing in senior living design. In the wake of this closure emerges a new firm, Nile, Inc., with a modern perspective on established markets that include hospitality, senior living, industrial, municipal, and commercial projects.
“Thinking back on the history of our team, a lot has changed. Technologies advance, building materials improve, and market demands change. To withstand decades of disruption, you must be built on solid ground. At Nile, that strong foundation is our staff who have moved forward with us and the markets we serve which continue to grow more robust each day.”
[ Nathan Anderson, Nile President ]
Today, Nile is 25 employees strong, bringing a dynamic breadth and depth of experience and services to our clients. Nile will maintain a comprehensive offering of architecture, engineering, and land survey services. Under the leadership of firm owner Kevin Biffert, Nile will embrace new technology and modern approaches to project delivery, team organization, and business efficiency. With offices in Fargo, N.D. and Saint Paul, Minn., cloud-based team collaboration will be key in how information is shared and how projects are managed. With technology-focused priorities, innovation-driven projects will be adopted to expand the firm’s market base. With this goal in mind, Nile has hit the ground running on many new projects, including Grand Farm near Fargo, N.D., a project set to create the world's first fully autonomous farm.
Nile is not the buildings we design, the walls of our offices, or the bodies within it. It is the collective of experiences, ideas and results that draw together. We are excited by the launch of this bold new company and the forward-thinking projects that will influence how people interact and our communities grow.
