ORANGE COUNTY

Stanley F. Brockhoff and David P. Middlemas, former Koll Co. vice presidents, have formed a new real estate investment and development firm called Westmont Investment Co. with headquarters in Newport Center.

Westmont will seek to develop and acquire office, research and development, industrial and multi-family projects alone and in joint venture with other developers and financial institutions. “We will probably do what we did at Koll, but on a smaller scale,” said Middlemas.

At the Koll Co., Middlemas, 49, had primary responsibility for raising financing for the giant Newport Beach commercial developer. Brockhoff, 50, was president of Koll Construction Co., a Koll subsidiary with annual construction volume of about $400 million. Both men resigned from Koll Dec. 31 to found Westmont.
