- A construction firm has filed a lien against the owner of Parky’s, a planned family entertainment center at the Moorestown Mall.
- NACOM Companies Inc. claims it’s owed approximately $500,000 for renovation work.
- Despite the dispute, the owner said he remains committed to opening the entertainment center in 2026.
The outlook for Parky’s, a family entertainment center set to open in the Moorestown Mall, is clouded by a dispute with a construction firm for the project.
NACOM Companies Inc. of Runnemede has filed a construction lien against Parkys FEC Holdings LLC, the owner of the property. The lien was filed with the Burlington County Clerk’s Office on Dec. 12 as a precursor to potential litigation in state court if the company isn’t paid.
Parky’s is being called to pay NACOM Companies approximately $500,000.
NACOM Companies didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment this week. Dilworth Paxson LLP, their law firm in the matter, also did not respond.
The six-page construction lien claim was signed by Gino DiBattista, president and agent of the company, based on terms in a contract dated Feb. 12.
The lien states that a contract was signed with two corporations identifying as owners of the store property, which is located at 400 New Jersey Route 38. The property is a former Taylor and Lord department store that had one other occupant prior to being bought by Parkys FEC Holdings.
The corporate owners are identified as Parkinson Holdings LLC, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and SPI Global Play AB, based in Malmo, Sweden.
The lien further states that Parkinson Holdings is a related company to Parkys FEC holdings, and that Florida businessman Aaron Parkinson is the principal of each entity.
“We are aware of the contractor’s filing,” Parkinson said in an email Jan. 7. “This matter relates to a contractual disagreement and is being addressed through the standard resolution process used in large-scale construction projects.
“We remain fully committed to the successful delivery of Parky’s Moorestown in 2026, which we believe will be an exciting addition to Moorestown and the broader South Jersey community,” he added. “We’ll share updates as appropriate as the project progresses.”
The lien claim states that the contract called for NACOM Companies to convert and renovate the former department store, of approximately 121,000 square feet, as well as first-floor entertainment of approximately 19,300 square feet.
This claim states that the contract had a maximum value of $5,434,473.13. If not completed, then the company would be paid for the amount of work done, which is at $1,551,247.10.
DiBattista states in the lien that his company did its last work on the project on Oct. 15.
The lien indicates that a payment was made to NACOM Companies of $1,050,451.92. The unpaid balance based on those figures is estimated at $500,795.18.
The mall is owned by the Philadelphia-based firm PREIT, but PREIT isn’t a party to the dispute. PREIT recently said that the entertainment center was projected to open this summer.
