Building car dealerships is a passion of ours. Having
previously built their original facility in Hartford, PDS
recently completed a renovation to the currently
occupied Liberty Mazda building. Totaling 17,000
square feet, this project includes a new drive-in service
reception area, showroom, offices, customer lounge,
parts department, exterior wall panel, glass and more.
PDS is no stranger to the automotive industry. Having
built over a dozen dealerships in our prolific history, we
work to accommodate your budget and timeline. For
over 55 years, PDS has always built relationships based
on trust, efficiency, and transparency to provide the
highest quality end result.

THINK • PLAN • BUILD
and The Goddard
schools across the
state, have been
a growth area for
Healy's company
over the past year.
And the
technology is
being used in
the classroom, too. He points, for
instance, to the Mark Twain House
3D tour, which he helped create.
"VR allows clients to expand their
stories and audience from being
local to being global," said Healy,
who predicts virtual reality elements
will continue to be a long-term
component of his clients' business
model after the pandemic.
Prasad Joshi agrees. As the
senior vice president for emerging
technology solutions at IT giant
Infosys, which has a Hartford office,
Joshi said he sees the future of
virtual experience only expanding
across multiple platforms.
"We are probably five years
away, but I think we'll see [the
incorporation] of human senses
beyond sight and hearing in the
virtual experience," he said. "An
immersive 360-degree experience —
where you can look around and hear
[the environment] is a good way to
learn things along the way."
