Billa Landing Wine Storage & Industrial Buildings
In 1994, Nordby installed its first pre-engineered metal building. Since that time, our construction professionals have installed dozens more - most recently Billa Landing in Santa Rosa. Over the years we have seen the engineering of these building systems become much more sophisticated and our team’s experience can help seamlessly guide you through the construction process.Location: Santa Rosa, CA
View ProjectGrgich Hills Estate Winery
Completed in 2021, Grgich Hills Estate Winery was Nordby’s first project with this acclaimed wine family.

View ProjectCanine Companions Training Center
Situated away from the city, the new Canine Companions building is a 2,300 sq. ft. steel beam training center built for veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). From conceptual design through permitting, Nordby Construction was able to work with JMA to design a building that fit the owner's operational needs and stayed within budget.Location: Santa Rosa, CA
View ProjectChalk Hill Pavilion
Set at a distance from the Chalk Hill Winery on the expansive Chalk Hill Estate, this event pavilion was originally built in 2012 to accommodate equestrian events. Nordby has worked with the owners, long-time clients, on several incremental renovation projects before embarking upon a full-scale renovation of the building in 2018. The reimagined design preserves the building’s distinctive character, while enhancing opportunities for distinctive wine and food events, all within a building envelope that is at once traditional and contemporary.Location: Healdsburg, CA
View ProjectChalk Hill Tasting Room Renovation
Nordby completed a renovation of this expansive existing estate -- part of the Foley Family Wines portfolio -- transforming the hospitality spaces housed on the main floor of the traditional structure to create a more curated, residential atmosphere. The result is an experience that effectively captures the casual luxury and sense of welcome for which Sonoma County and owner Bill Foley are both well-known.Location: Healdsburg, CA

Co-founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards is one of Napa Valley’s 40 initial wineries and has since established itself as one of North America’s premier producers of Napa Valley wines.

Most recently, Nordby completed the renovation and expansion of Duckhorn’s building located in Hopland, California.Location: Hopland, CA

Set at the foot of the Vaca Mountains in the Napa Valley, just off Silverado Trail, Krupp Brothers Winery sits on a bucolic lakeside vineyard.

Established in 1996, Brown Estate Vineyards is the first and only black-owned estate winery in the Napa Valley, and one of the region's most highly-regarded zinfandel producers.

View ProjectRoth Winery Tasting Room
This property on Chalk Hill Road – a simple but iconic agrarian building punctuated by six dormers and a main entry that sits at the mid-point along the facade of the long, narrow building – was originally part of the Chalk Hill estate. The underutilized structure, once called “Buzz Barn,” functioned as barrel storage until it was purchased by Bill Foley as the new home of Roth Wines. Nordby Construction and Nordby Wine Caves converted the existing building to accommodate full wine production and hospitality, and added a new cave that provided additional hospitality and barrel storage.Location: Healdsburg, CA

Set on the ground floor of the Hotel Les Mars in downtown Healdsburg, just off the town’s well-known central square, Chalkboard is an integral part of the Healdsburg dining scene. When he embarked on the renovation of the hotel’s ground-floor space to create an entirely new experience in the space that was once home to the Michelin-starred Cyrus, owner Bill Foley envisioned a classic bistro atmosphere that was approachable and welcoming.Location: Healdsburg, CA
