Originally built in 1913, and previously used as the Magic Chef oven factory and warehouse, Third Man Development selected PARIC to convert the 50,000 sq.ft. historic structure into a loft-style office building with original architectural features.

Original steel roof trusses were preserved to create a unique ceiling space for the first floor offices.

Projects just getting underway include:
After narrowing from more than 25 nationwide teams, Boeing has selected a PARIC-led joint venture for a million-plus square-foot expansion of the company’s Air Dominance production site near St. Louis Lambert International Airport.
Construction of the various facilities is expected to employ an estimated 1,200 construction craft workers over the course of the program.
Detailed pre-construction planning is underway with initial construction estimated for Q1 2024, according to PARIC President Mike Rallo, Jr.
Key subcontractors include Arch Key/Sachs, icon Mechanical, Murphy Mechanical, PayneCrest Electric and Shannon & Wilson. Industrial Project Innovation (IPI) serves as the owner’s representative. Jacobs provides engineering services.
PARIC Corporation, one of the region’s leading general contractor, construction manager and design-build firms, has announced that former Vice President of Operations Mike Rallo, Jr. is the new president of the company, effective September 1 – just the fifth since the company was founded in 1979. He replaces Keith Wolkoff, who stepped down from the role in March.
The company also has announced that Todd Goodrich, a 25-year PARIC veteran, will become the company’s new executive vice president – chief operating officer.
Rallo, who joined PARIC in 2003 as a project engineer, has held numerous leadership roles in the company’s operations, eventually rising to vice president of operations in 2016. His appointment as president follows an extensive internal and external search.
“Following our search process, it was crystal clear that Mike was the right person to help lead our company to a new era of sustained growth,” said Joe McKee, chairman and CEO of PARIC Corp. “He has a proven history of leadership among our clients and colleagues, and is focused on growing and developing our next generation of leaders.”
One of Rallo’s first major roles was leading the Express Scripts Campus project in north St. Louis County — the largest LEED project in Missouri at the time of completion. He also led the North Park Redevelopment and Park Pacific Historic Renovation, as well as the River City Casino, Washington University Loop Student Housing and two campus repositioning projects for Lutheran Senior Services in St. Louis, among other projects.
Rallo serves on the development board of St. Louis Children’s Hospital and is currently secretary/treasurer for the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Missouri.
Goodrich joined PARIC in 1997. He has served as a vice president for more than 15 years, most recently as chief business development officer.
“Over his 25 years with PARIC, Todd has overseen our significant growth in the not-for-profit senior living market,” McKee said. “And he was instrumental in driving PARIC as an early adopter of virtual design construction technologies.”
In his 10 years as vice president of business development, Goodrich oversaw a nearly threefold growth of PARIC’s valuation.
“We are extremely confident that Mike and Todd are the right leadership team to advance PARIC during this time of significant, ongoing change in our industry,” McKee said.
St. Louis Community College, through a competitive selection process, has chosen PARIC Corp. to construct a four-story, $44 million health sciences building on the Florissant Valley campus.
Construction of the 100,000-square-foot facility is expected to begin this summer and be competed by December 2024.
The Community College is modernizing facilities and programming at Florissant Valley to meet today’s job training and retraining demands. Replacing many of the school’s current facilities which were built more than a half-century ago and cannot be updated to meet today’s training and technological needs will lead to significant continuing savings on utilities and maintenance while also supporting the school’s plans to remain a leader among its peer learning institutions
