Investor-Focused Land Development Strategy

Cullina Management represents investors involved in purchasing and developing land. Our focus is on the land side of development, helping clients understand the risks, regulatory requirements, and feasibility of a project before construction begins.


Unlike engineering firms or construction companies, we act as the strategic advisor and project coordinator, ensuring that the right experts are involved and that development decisions align with investor goals.


Our work helps clients:

  • Evaluate land opportunities before acquisition.
  • Understand zoning and development regulations.
  • Navigate complex approval processes.
  • Reduce entitlement and regulatory risk.
  • Protect investor capital throughout development.

Land Development Services for Smarter Investment Decisions

Successful development starts with the right strategy. Cullina Management focuses on three core services that help investors move projects forward with confidence.

Due Diligence

Before land is purchased or developed, it must be carefully evaluated. Our due diligence process identifies risks, regulatory issues, and development constraints that could affect project viability.

Key areas we evaluate include:


  • Zoning and land use regulations
  • Title verification and legal constraints
  • Environmental and site conditions
  • Infrastructure and utility access
  • Development feasibility

Entitlements

Entitlements are often the most complex stage of land development. This process involves securing the approvals required for a project to move forward.

Cullina Management helps investors navigate:

  • Zoning amendments
  • Variances and conditional use permits
  • Development approvals
  • Regulatory agency coordination
  • Jurisdictional processes and timelines


Strategic entitlement work can significantly increase property value and development potential.

JSB Development | J. Backer


We retained Cullina Management to generate budgets, secure entitlements, assist with underwriting for potential lenders, coordinate the design review process with city planning, manage the design and engineering for each facility and negotiate contracts. They were instrumental to our development in our efforts to obtain financing for a $10.3M Water Recycling Plant and a new 11.3 Mixed-Use Office and Retail building. We appreciate the hard work Kevin and his team put forward to manage the “many moving parts” of this development and to instill confidence in our lenders and equity partners that their funded projects were successfully managed

Kevin, I want to let you know we closed on the land acquisition of the 60-acre PDX data center project site earlier today. Thank you for all your help in making that happen. Your efforts were extremely valuable and very much appreciated

NASA | Industrial Realty Group


What a wonderful job both Kevin with Cullina Management and his land development team did late last week in leading the effort to turn environmental samples and results around on the chromium soils issue. Beginning at 6:30am on Friday, Kevin was calling folks, getting them out of bed and imploring them to get here ASAP. They, in turn, recruited others (labs, geologists, geoprob firm, concrete coring) and by 9am we had a full contingent on-site. By 10am the team had completed documentation of the sampling plan, and by 4pm they had completed all sampling. Kevin had arranged for the lab to work through the night, and by 8am Saturday morning we were getting result, with all being done by 1:30pm on Saturday. This sense of urgency was significant, to continue our work with the project”
