KREG ANNOUNCES COURT'S DECISION
ON BOLSA CHICA LITIGATION
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. -- June 4, 1997 -- Koll Real Estate Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:KREG) announced today that the San Diego Superior Court issued a
decision to return the Bolsa Chica Local Coastal Program ("LCP") to the
California Coastal Commission for further consideration. From the Company's
perspective, the court's decision today was primarily focused on the
lowlands, where KREG no longer has a real estate development interest.
The court's decision that the Coastal Commission reconsider the LCP was
based on the court's determination (i) that development of homes in the
lowlands is not in compliance with the Coastal Act and (ii) that the filing
of a 1.8 acre pond on the Bolsa Chica mesa is not in compliance with the
Coastal Act.
With respect to the Bolsa Chica mesa, the court's decision concluded that
the Coastal Commission failed to weigh and resolve a conflict in Coastal Act
policies related to a small pond adjacent to Warner Avenue. The court's
decision directed that the Coastal Commission reconsider its treatment of the
Warner Avenue pond. In every other respect, the court supported the Coastal
Commission's approval of the plan for development of the mesa. The court
agreed with the Coastal Commission's findings with regard to (i) the

relocation of raptor habitat, (ii) adequacy of a buffer between the new
residential development and the lowlands, and (iii) treatment of
archeological resources.
While KREG believes that the Coastal Commission's prior action concerning
the Warner Avenue pond is fully supported under the Coastal Act, the Company
is also pleased to see that its plan for the Bolsa Chica mesa development was
otherwise upheld by the court. The Company is currently weighing its options
for dealing with the court's concerns about the findings of the Coastal
Commission concerning the Warner Avenue pond, including the possibility of
filing an appeal.
The court has directed counsel to submit a proposed writ and judgment,
which will determine the specific issues to be reconsidered by the Coastal
Commission, for the court's review by June 27, 1997. The Company will not
make any decision regarding a potential appeal until the final writ is
reviewed by the Company and is approved by the court.
The Company expects that the court's ruling may delay the previously
planned start of infrastructure construction during the fourth quarter of
1997; however, the Company is unable to predict the nature or length of any
such delay at this time. While the Company believes that the court's ruling
will not permanently prevent its planned development on the Bolsa Chica mesa,
there can be no assurance in this regard.
Bolsa Chica is located in the County of Orange, California, adjacent to
the City of Huntington Beach. In February 1997, KREG sold 880 acres of its
property in the Bolsa Chica lowlands to the California State Lands Commission
for wetlands preservation and restoration purposes. The Ports of Los Angeles
and Long Beach, together with other state

and federal agencies, will fund the restoration and preservation of a total
of 1,200 acres of wetlands. KREG will limit its residential development to
approximately 200 acres on the upland mesa. No development will occur in the
wetlands or lowlands previously owned by KREG.
Any forward-looking statements in this press release involve risks and
uncertainties. The actual results could differ materially from those
currently anticipated in any such forward-looking statements because of many
factors.
KREG provides residential and commercial real estate development services
on a national and international basis. The Company holds a large residential
land inventory in Southern California.
