CBRE Romania recruits Gijs Klomp as Head of Investment Properties

CBRE expanded its Romanian management team by recruiting Gijs Klomp, as Head of Investment Properties for CBRE Romania. Gijs has over 17 years of experience in real estate and was involved in investment transactions worth more than two billion Euro.

“The Romanian investment market is going through an eventful period as we estimate for the entire 2019 a transactional volume surpassing the one billion Euro milestone, a value unreached since 2014. The added value brought by a real estate consultancy company is vital and CBRE’s team has proven a strong track record in major transactions on the office, retail and industrial markets. I am confident that my background of having worked on both the client side, as well as in agency, represents the perfect mix that clients need”, stated Gijs Klomp, Head Investment Properties at CBRE Romania.

As a Dutch citizen, Gijs Klomp had his first contact with the Romanian market back in 2000, during his internship at “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest. In 2006, he set up the ING Real Estate Investment Management business in Romania, being responsible for sourcing investment opportunities in the office and retail sector. ING Real Estate Investment Management (ING REIM) was bought in 2011 by US company CBRE and became CBRE Global Investors.

Starting May 2013, Gijs Klomp joined real estate consultancy JLL Romania as Managing Director and in early 2015 returned to CBRE to head CBRE’s Romanian and later CEE capital markets department.
