Koll Controls Largest Space on West Coast

The Koll Co. of Newport Beach has become the largest owner and manager of office buildings and industrial parks on the West Coast, according to the June issue of Corporate Design and Realty magazine.

The firm is listed as owning and managing buildings totaling 14.5 million square feet at the time the survey was conducted earlier this year. That number has since increased to 16.5 million square feet.

J. Harold Street, Koll’s executive vice president of marketing, said the company expects to top 20 million square feet by next March.

“Our properties include high-rise office buildings, low-rise office parks and research and development parks in all of the Pacific Rim regions--Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and East Bay, San Jose, San Diego and Phoenix, he said.”
