Founder, President, Hamptons Designer, Civil Engineer and Master
Builder, Nicholas Alimanestianu has always been fascinated with the
construction of houses. When he was an engineering student at NYU,
where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, he
constructed his first house, a three room Gambrel A-Frame, in the
woods on his parents’ property. Though somewhat basic (a tank in the
basement collected rain water and it was heated with firewood), he
moved in and raised his a family there. Before starting Southampton
Building Corporation, Nicholas was involved with a housing development
in Florida and worked on a new railroad project in Central Africa.
