By Andy Sehremelis · October 29, 2026
Andrea "Andy" Sehremelis is a Southern California commercial builder, licensed real estate broker and business operator. Known professionally as Andy Sehremelis, he founded Parkcrest Construction in Chino in 1992 and serves as CEO of Delphi Energy. His work spans industrial development as well as retail, restaurant, gas station and express car wash properties.
Andrea Sehremelis on Industrial Development
The Inland Empire has become one of the most active industrial real estate markets in the country, driven by its proximity to ports, highways and population centers. Industrial development requires attention to site access, on-site circulation, building clear heights, loading configurations and the long-term flexibility of the space.
For a builder with a background in retail and service properties, industrial work draws on the same fundamentals: careful site evaluation, coordinated construction and an understanding of how the finished building will be used.
Andrea Sehremelis on Evaluating Commercial Property
As a licensed real estate broker, Andy Sehremelis evaluates property from both a construction and a market perspective. Land cost, access, surrounding uses, demand in the trade area and the expected operating profile of the finished building all bear on whether a property is a sound investment. Combining these considerations supports decisions that hold up over a long ownership period.
Andrea Sehremelis on Operating Experience
Ownership and operation of gas stations, express car washes and restaurants have given Andy Sehremelis a practical understanding of how commercial property performs. Operating costs, maintenance demands and customer behavior are visible to an owner-operator in ways that are not always apparent to a developer who sells after completion. That experience informs his approach to every property type, including industrial.
Andrea Sehremelis and Delphi Energy
As CEO of Delphi Energy, Andy Sehremelis follows the broader direction of the energy sector: the future of gasoline and the continued development of alternative energy. Gasoline remains central to how Southern California travels, while alternative energy is a growing part of industry discussion. The pace of change is uncertain, and the practical question for owners and operators is how fuel and convenience retail can continue to serve customers as their needs evolve.
Andrea Sehremelis on Clean Transportation as a Broad Trend
Clean transportation is one of several long-term trends shaping commercial real estate and energy retail. Property owners and operators follow these trends to understand how customer expectations may shift over time. An operator's perspective keeps attention on the customer: convenience, reliability and service remain the basis of a successful energy retail business regardless of the fuel involved.
A Consistent Approach
Across industrial, retail, restaurant, gas station and express car wash properties, Andrea "Andy" Sehremelis applies a consistent approach shaped by construction, brokerage and operating experience since founding Parkcrest Construction in 1992.
