Founded in 1999 by seasoned professionals from the fields of higher education administration, market and corporate real estate, and property management, Scion offers a unique level of financial and real estate sophistication not typically available from consultants to the not-for-profit sector. We combine state-of-the-art methods for real estate analysis and modeling with the understanding and sensitivity to the unique nature, mission and specialized considerations of colleges, universities and other not-for-profit entities. We concentrate particularly on urban and high-end student housing and mixed use facilities; no firm in North America is more focused on urban student housing, where our knowledge and understanding of the urban student as a unique consumer is unparalleled. A member of NACUBO, NACAS and ACUHO-I, Scion is a recognized leader in the financial and operational analysis of educational housing and auxiliary facilities. We are often asked to lecture and present case studies regarding student housing and have authored several articles. We have been cited by the Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, CNN, ABC News, MSNBC and Time, Forbes and Inc. Magazines.
