Historic Renovation

PARIC has earned the reputation as a premier commercial and multi-family builder with expertise in historic renovation, development, and adaptive reuse. Led by market leader, Paul Giacoletto, our team continues to demonstrate a significant presence in downtown St. Louis, renovating more than 3.5 million square feet of commercial/retail space in just 10 years.

It’s Where We Live and Work

Because of PARIC’s significant growth in this market and the overwhelming support of Downtown redevelopment in the midwest, we’ve been able to expand into branch offices in Kansas City and Cincinnati.

We experienced nothing short of excellence with the PARIC team. Having them on-site to oversee all the details of this historic renovation was crucial. They were able to quickly solve any issues and provide solutions to keep us ahead of schedule and under budget.

In my opinion the quality of PARIC's restoration of The Arcade is second to none. This same opinion is widely shared, as The Arcade has won the St. Louis Landmarks Association, Most Enhanced Award, the Preserve Missouri Award from the Missouri Preservation Association, and The Arcade has been nominated for a Reader's Choice Award by Affordable Housing Finance Magazine, a national publication. And maybe most important, 282 families have all voted with their feet, that The Arcade is a high quality restoration -this restoration was done well.

I believe that the foundation for the success of the project was formed long before we began construction. The construction team brought a great deal of talent and expertise to the project and PARIC's management of this pre-construction process set the project up to succeed.
