IRVINE, CA—More talent is seeking to be part of a privately held entrepreneurial company like Seattle-based Kidder Mathews, which has recently acquired two Southern California-based firms, CEO Jeff Lyon tells GlobeSt.com.

The most recent acquisition was Costa Mesa, CA-based Alden Management Group, a commercial-property management firm with a large portfolio of office, industrial and retail properties located throughout the greater Southern California market. Alden will be re-branded to Kidder Mathews in the coming weeks, and the Alden staff will be relocating to Kidder Mathews' Irvine, CA office. The firm also finalized a merger on March 1 with L.A.-based Heger Industrial, a brokerage and property-management firm, which Lyon says represented “a great opportunity for both firms to grow.”

Andrew Zimbaldi, president and founder of Alden Management Group, will serve as the firm's SVP and will continue to lead property management operations for Kidder Mathews in the Greater L.A. Basin.
