Baylands- San Francisco, CA

Kevin Cullina of Cullina Management provided essential land development leadership for the 680-acre Baylands Development, one of the most complex mixed‑use redevelopment efforts in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project covered former industrial and rail‑adjacent land, requiring advanced planning, environmental coordination, and multi‑jurisdictional entitlement expertise to unlock long‑term development potential.

Kevin supported the master developer through significant technical, regulatory, and infrastructure challenges. His work included comprehensive land use due diligence, entitlement strategy with San Francisco, Brisbane, and regional agencies, and infrastructure planning for utilities, transportation corridors, grading, and circulation networks. He also guided environmental and regulatory risk mitigation, stakeholder and consultant coordination, and strategic development planning for residential, commercial, transit‑oriented, and public‑realm components.

Kevin’s involvement strengthened a project demanding exceptional technical depth, political navigation, and disciplined long‑range planning.

Bridgeview - Twin Falls, ID

Cullina Management provided comprehensive pre‑acquisition due diligence and entitlement leadership for a 4‑acre property located along the Snake River Canyon Rim. The site required detailed evaluation of development constraints, regulatory pathways, and infrastructure challenges to determine its commercial viability. Through strategic planning and agency coordination, Cullina Management secured approvals to develop approximately 90,000 square feet of commercial office space, restaurants, and a boutique hotel.

A major component of the effort involved negotiating the release of a long‑standing Idaho Transportation Department easement that encumbered nearly two‑thirds of the property. Cullina Management also coordinated the relocation of a City lift station—reducing its footprint by half and moving it to a location that no longer impeded development potential.

Additional entitlements included increased building height allowances and a Special Use Permit authorizing hotel development, both approved by City Planning and City Council. These actions significantly enhanced the property’s development capacity and delivered substantial value to investor.

Vista Canyon - Santa Clarita, CA

Cullina Management played a pivotal role in the successful entitlement and development strategy for a 184‑acre assemblage comprising four integrated parcels in the City of Santa Clarita, California. This large‑scale master plan secured comprehensive land use entitlements and approvals for residential neighborhoods, commercial office space, an 800‑foot vehicular bridge, an LA Metro train station, a water‑recycling facility, underground utilities, and extensive roadway improvements.

Our team led the subdivision and regulatory coordination required to advance the full master plan, ensuring compliance with city, county, and state agencies while mitigating entitlement and infrastructure risks for the master developer. Cullina Management was also instrumental in structuring and supporting EB‑5 financing efforts, helping attract international investment and strengthen the project’s long‑term capital strategy.
