Welcome to the city! :welcome:
I assume you have an automatic transmission. I was looking into doing the same mod on mine but came to the conclusion my manual gearshift was going to interfere somewhat, and honestly I didn't put a lot of effort into searching after that.
Don't hold me to it, but I believe it is possible, unfortunately I don't have any useful information on the parking brake. Mine seems to be in the dead middle of the center console or perhaps more on the drivers side. I can't see Ford making Escapes with multiple parking brake holes in the floor, so it may be possible to get the parking brake handle assembly from the console donor and it might so happen to use the same hole.
I've found stripped parts for the console on E-bay before, never bought any though. I'd also check out the junkyards, see if you can find one that will let you go in there and have a look, might be able to get a console cheap, or not, you never know.
The center console is very easy to remove on the rear portion. I will warn you however that the 2 bolts holding the front portion will break the heads off very easily.
