Creating Home
KD Shae Development, a real estate development company located in San Rafael, CA, specializes in residential and mixed-use development opportunities, catering to the North Bay region. In response to the widespread housing shortage in Marin County and neighboring areas, KD Shae Development actively collaborates with cities and local communities to address the pressing need for housing.
KD Shae Development always puts people at the forefront of the development process. The firm prioritizes the community through engagement, active listening, and addressing the needs of the local community during the entire development process, from planning and design to construction and execution. With a strong focus on urban planning principles, the firm approaches the development of new projects with a sensitivity to and awareness of what is already in place and a celebration of the community and its spirit.
For over 25 years, Kim Diamond, the Founder of KD Shae Development, has played a pivotal role in the creation of thousands of residential units across the Bay Area. Kim has worked on a wide variety of development projects, including mixed-use and residential projects, master-planned communities, student housing developments, affordable and mixed-income housing, mixed-use waterfront properties, and adaptive re-use projects.
In all of these developments, Kim has prioritized achieving a delicate balance between the aspirations and needs of community stakeholders and the development and financial objectives of capital partners. The ultimate aim is to create spaces that instill pride in all involved parties, including future residents who will call these places home for years to come.
