Join us for a conversation and a sweet treat on Tuesday, November 6th at 9pm in Brookdale's East Lounge. Our distinguished guest will be Frank Sciame.

Sciame founded his eponymous construction company in 1975 and to date has completed more than 1,000 projects in NYC. The firm, which currently has more than $1.5 billion worth of projects underway, has handled a slew of high-profile developments, including the exterior restoration of the Guggenheim Museum, part of the High Line and Edward Minskoff’s 400,000-square-foot angular, glass office tower at 51 Astor Place. Current projects include the Culture Shed, a visual and performing arts center that will be located on city-owned land within the Hudson Yards area. In 2014, the firm ventured out of NYC and launched Palm Beach-based Sciame Homes, which builds spec houses.

In addition to his professional work, Frank Sciame sits on several boards, including The New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the Alliance for Downtown New York, the ACE Mentor Program of America, Inc., and the New York Building Congress, where he is chairman of the New York Building Foundation.

Frank takes pride in his role as chairman of the Schack Institute Construction Management Advisory Board. Having hired many graduates of the Schack Institute of Real Estate Institute Construction Management Program, he understands that the program provides its students with the expertise needed to effectively play leadership roles in a construction project or business. The advisory board brings together experts in the field to constantly review the program. All aspects of the program are continually evaluated against best current industry practices to ensure students have the knowledge and skills they need to address the current issues and developments in the construction industry.

Another responsibility of the advisory board is to review suggested seminars and panel discussions to be presented by the NYU School of Professional Studies Schack Institute of Real Estate. These events have covered topics such as BIM, industry market conditions, career opportunities, ethics, and risk analysis communication. The advisors tap their network of contacts for panelists and speakers and to attend career night events. The advisory board also employs their best efforts to solicit funding for student scholarships.
