In his new role, Evers will aim to drive real estate performance across Clarion’s growing pan-European portfolio comprising 2m sq ft of space across 60 assets. He will also be tasked with delivering value enhancing initiatives including leasing execution, capex deployment and asset recycling, alongside creating and managing strategic partnerships with select third-party stakeholders.
In addition to heading the asset management team, Evers will lead on strategy and implementation around the business’ sustainability programme.
Alistair Calvert, chief executive at Clarion, said: “Harald’s long-term track record leading cross-functional teams across a number of European jurisdictions will be invaluable in enabling us to successfully execute on our asset management programme.
“His deep understanding of the real estate asset ecosystem, including the trends driving occupier decision making and entrenching sustainability considerations into all portfolio activity, will enhance our competitive advantage in what remains the standout European CRE asset class.”
