Pennsylvania Sustainable & Healthy Buildings

Scott’s real estate development career began in full force in 1990, 27 years ago. With his partner Jim Levin, they founded Neighborhood Restorations, an affordable housing development company, and set out on a mission of restoring abandoned and blighted single-family homes in West Philadelphia. They gutted, rehabbed and developed over 1000 houses including nearly 1200 units for low-income families with a total investment of nearly $200 million while employing more than 50% local minority contractors over their entire history. Additionally, Neighborhood Restorations moved their offices into the heart of West Philadelphia at the former Oliver Wendell Homes Middle School, the first middle school in the United States. There, they completed a historic restoration and preservation of the entire building, including 42 units for senior citizens and a magnificent auditorium used for both seniors and community activities. In 2009, Scott established University Place Associates with a firm commitment to social responsibility and environmental sustainability. His hope in contributing to and developing a world-class ‘Platinum Corridor®’ on Market Street, centered at the 40th Street transit hub, is that this effort, including bringing new jobs and new energy, will become a place for all to enjoy!
