We are the nation's largest developer, owner and manager of high-quality student housing communities. In 2004, we led the industry to a new plateau when we became the first publicly traded student housing REIT (NYSE: ACC). Since 1996, we've developed more than $4.2 billion in properties for our own account and our university clients, and we have acquired in excess of $4.6 billion in student housing assets. Also, we've become a national leader in third-party development and management of on-campus student housing.
