Koll Reaches Detroit

Branching out for the second time in two months, Koll Development Co. of Newport Beach said Monday it has opened an office in Detroit.

The national developer said it will pursue build-to-suit, speculative and redevelopment opportunities across the Detroit area. In addition, the company will handle marketing and leasing services for other properties.

D.M. Associates LLC awarded Koll the management and marketing duties for Village Plaza, a 12-story, 300,000-square-foot office tower in Dearborn. The building is 81% occupied.

Koll also received the marketing contract by Eureka International LLC for a planned office and industrial park for up to 1.3 million square feet in nearby Romulus. The 89-acre project will include both speculative and built-to-suit facilities.

The company recent opened an office in Washington, D.C. Earlier in the year, it opened offices in Denver and Malaysia.
