Our Company

Founded in 1999, Scion focuses exclusively on ownership, operation and advisory services for student housing, both on and off campus. We have participated in the acquisition or development of more than 22,000 beds and advised colleges and universities, foundations and private-sector providers in over 140 campus markets, representing over $3 billion of project value. Today, Scion owns and operates nearly 16,000 beds at 21 communities, serving 17 major university campus markets across eleven states. Among the most active participants in the sector, we acquired or recapitalized approximately $235 million of purpose-built student housing since 2013. Through a joint venture, we also manage the on-campus residence halls for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in a pioneering public-private partnership. Our investment track record is the result of combining comprehensive knowledge and thoughtful analysis, operational strength and creative approaches. We have specialized expertise in successfully repositioning underperforming properties in attractive markets, public-private partnerships, structured financing, urban settings and launches of new on- and off-campus housing.
