Posted on by ParsCo Construction

CivicCon celebrated 23 individuals and organizations on Monday, December 4th 2023 for their work in making Pensacola and the surrounding area an even better community.

The Strong Towns award recognizes the Strong Towns mantra of making good use of our existing resources and infrastructure, instead of creating costly new sprawl.

Historic Sinclair Restoration

Posted on by ParsCo Construction

The Motor Inn Station Number Two, one of Escambia County’s 42 registered historic places and a century-old building, is being restored at 500 W. Jackson St. in hopes of reopening as a commercial development.

The project is a personal one for ParsCo President and CEO Amir Fooladi, who has worked on many historical projects and is also on the board of the University of West Florida Historic Trust.

“For me, I think it’s just a passion for working on restoring the history of Pensacola,” he said. “Renovations are fun but when it has that historical element it makes it extra special.”

Fooladi has also helped with recent local developments like the Brent Lofts, Pearl & Horn and Slick Lips Seafood.

The development process has been underway for a few years, experiencing setbacks at times in order to remove outdated and less-than-sound infrastructure concealed within the building’s original framework from nearly 100 years ago. The building’s portico even caved in from rot, requiring a complete restoration.

Some of the building’s original Spanish architecture, such as its plaster and window accents, are still present thanks to efforts by ParsCo Construction and the UWF Historic Trust to preserve its historic features.

In order to reconstruct some of these features, Richard Rodriguez, exhibit designer for the Historic Trust, used 3D-printing technology to make identical models with weather-resistant materials for the building’s exterior.

Why is the building historically significant?

The Motor Inn Station Number Two is the latest addition to the National Register of Historic Places from Escambia County. The building was originally called Monks Service Station Number Two and was added to the register on Sept. 27 last year at the beginning of the restoration development process.

“It represents a period of early transportation, fueling and stations that you would have seen in Pensacola and the surrounding towns,” said Ross Pristera, historic preservationist at the Historic Trust. “Each of these stations had its own brand of architecture to it, unlike the ones today that are just kind of generic.”

Who will be in the new building?

There is no confirmed tenant yet for the commercial building, but there are a few businesses interested in the space. Once restoration of the building is complete, potential tenants will have to work with an architecture firm on the design of the historic building’s interior in order to fit its individual needs.

Fooladi says that they will be finishing the entire building including the tenant’s buildout and interior once they have signed their agreement.

“These buildings have potential for new uses for smaller businesses. They offer a uniqueness that other commercial buildings don’t have,” Pristera said. “It’s up to people like Amir to find and put the energy into them to make them viable again, people like to see them have new uses.”

Fooladi says that the work to restore the building and keep it historically accurate was difficult, but dedication to the details from local partners such as JRS Plastering, Merritt Glass, Guy Brothers Roofing and Alcala Architecture is making the process successful.

Posted on by ParsCo Construction

The 2018 SAME Federal Small Business Conference was fantastic.

ParsCo is a 8 (a) construction and management company headquartered in Pensacola, Florida.

The conference allowed us the opportunity to find the right teaming partners, learn more in regards to federal contracting and national security.

SAME stands for Society of American Military Engineers.  ParsCo joined in 2017 and we are looking forward to being more involved in the organization.

Perhaps one of the best memories we take away from the conference beyond the Vertical Construction briefing and exhibits was the opportunity to meet Brigadier General Diana M. Holland.

Thank you to the entire SAME staff for all you do. This was our first time attending the conference and definitely will not be our last.
