Koll in Merger Talks: The Newport Beach-based real estate firm, one of the nation’s largest property management companies, is discussing a possible merger with Chicago-based LaSalle Partners, another major property management firm, sources said. A merger between privately held Koll Real Estate Group, which manages more than 600 properties nationwide, and LaSalle would create one of the nation’s biggest property managers.
