the california gateway vision
Your Project. Our Expertise.
You already know the value of your land—and The California Gateway is where that value gets realized. This is a coordinated development effort across thousands of acres positioned for industrial, commercial, and mixed-use growth, with the ownership group already in place.
Entitlements, infrastructure, and environmental approvals are complex and expensive to navigate alone. Our team manages every phase of that process—from initial planning and EIR coordination to infrastructure design and implementation—so investors and developers can move forward with a clear, coordinated path to entitlement.
The California Gateway is more than a location—it's a shaped, de-risked opportunity ready for the right partner to build on.
Where California Connects.
Centrally located in California’s transportation corridor, The California Gateway sits just an hour north of Los Angeles and a few hours south of San Francisco and Sacramento. Positioned along Hwy 99, just north of the Tejon Ranch Outlets, major distribution centers, restaurants, and fuel stations, the site is also adjacent to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino—placing it at the heart of regional growth and connectivity.
The Opportunity: Western Land
±893 contiguous acres at the base of the Grapevine, positioned near the Interstate 5 and Highway 99 split — priced today as raw farmland, before development in this corridor drives land values sharply higher. This is the ground-floor entry point into the larger 4,000 + acre California Gateway.
Prime Freight Corridor Access
Direct frontage on Highway 99, with a combined 82,000+ vehicles passing daily.
Positioned for What's Next
Currently income-producing farmland, ideally suited for logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, or e-commerce fulfillment.
±893 Contiguous Acres
A rare, flat, unified land holding in Southern Kern County — already assembled and ready to build on.
