What Pardi Partnership Architects does

Pardi Partnership Architects, PC is a small professional services architecture firm headquartered in Rochester, New York, operating continuously since 1978 (as A.L. Pardi, Architects) and formally incorporated as a partnership in 1990 by Alfred Pardi and Scott Fiske. The firm positions itself as a "small firm with large firm capabilities," offering architectural design, design+build delivery, and project development services across six portfolio verticals: commercial, corporate, living (multi-family and senior living), industrial, retail, and hospitality. Its client base includes regional developers, breweries, restaurants, technology firms, senior living operators, and institutional organizations in the Rochester and Upstate New York market.

The firm delivers services through a team of 1-10 employees using BIM software (Revit) for design, drafting, and consultant coordination, supplemented by architectural visualization, adaptive reuse expertise, feasibility studies, code compliance, ADA accessibility design, and master planning. Its design+build model integrates with a network of major regional contractors (LeChase, Pike Construction, LeFrois Builders, Hamilton Stern, FSI, Knataitis, Vasile) to deliver projects under single-source responsibility. The firm has accumulated over 35 years of project history, including award-winning work such as Tower280 at Midtown (10-story luxury apartment renovation), the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester, Three Heads Brewing, and a 69,000 sf senior living community completed in 2024.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees, with project-based, scope-dependent pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The firm maintains an independent ownership structure under three partners (Scott Fiske, Jason Dobbs, Jenna Evans) with no parent company or external equity backing. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on a portfolio website, professional organization memberships, client testimonials, and contractor referrals to generate leads within the Rochester/Upstate New York geography.
