Cullina Management

CEQA Strategy & Long‑Term Development Flexibility

●      Directed a multi‑year CEQA process to ensure the master plan preserved maximum future development flexibility for evolving market conditions and highest‑and‑best‑use opportunities.

●      Coordinated environmental impact analyses, mitigation strategies, and regulatory compliance across multiple state and regional agencies.

●      Structured CEQA documentation to support phased development, adaptive land use planning, and long‑term entitlement durability.


Water Rights Acquisition & Multi‑Jurisdictional Negotiation

●      Negotiated with multiple Northern California jurisdictions to secure 1,200 acre‑feet of long‑term water rights, a critical prerequisite for future residential, commercial, and mixed‑use development.

●      Structured agreements to ensure water reliability, infrastructure capacity, and regulatory compliance for a multi‑decade buildout.

●      Integrated water‑supply planning into the project’s entitlement strategy and infrastructure phasing.


Master Planning & Transit‑Oriented Development (TOD)

●      Led planning efforts for a transit‑oriented development framework centered on the adjacent Caltrain station, supporting high‑density residential, commercial, and mixed‑use components.

●      Coordinated land use, circulation, and infrastructure planning to align with regional transportation goals and long‑term mobility strategies.

●      Ensured the master plan supported sustainable growth, multimodal connectivity, and long‑term economic value.


Environmental Agency Coordination & Brownfield Redevelopment

●      Negotiated directly with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to address remediation requirements across the 680‑acre site.

●      Oversaw environmental investigations, remediation strategies, and regulatory approvals for former landfill, industrial, and rail‑maintenance operations.

●      Developed a defensible environmental compliance pathway to support future vertical development and infrastructure investment.


Entitlement Leadership & Regulatory Navigation

●      Managed multi‑jurisdictional entitlement processes involving the City of San Francisco, City of Brisbane, regional transportation agencies, and state regulatory bodies.

●      Structured entitlement conditions to support long‑term development flexibility, infrastructure phasing, and capital‑efficient implementation.

●      Ensured alignment between regulatory requirements, environmental constraints, and investor objectives.


Infrastructure Cost Modeling & Capital Oversight

●      Prepared defensible horizontal infrastructure budgets ranging from $1.0B to $1.3B, including grading, utilities, transportation networks, environmental systems, and public‑realm improvements.

●      Developed scenario‑based pro formas for multiple land use programs, including residential, commercial, mixed‑use, and transit‑oriented development.

●      Provided investor‑grade financial modeling to evaluate feasibility, phasing, and long‑term ROI across multiple development pathways.
