CenterPoint Properties appoints new chief operating and investment officers

CenterPoint Properties has created the role of chief operating officer and appointed its longtime executive vice president and chief investment officer, Jim Clewlow, to lead the firm’s investment, development, and asset management teams. 

After working as a broker at CBRE for 11 years, Clewlow joined CenterPoint in 1997 as a vice president of acquisitions, development, and leasing. In 1999, he was promoted to senior vice president of investments and joined the executive committee. Clewlow was appointed CenterPoint’s chief investment officer in 2005.

Chapman also announced PJ Charlton has been promoted to Clewlow’s former post as executive vice president and chief investment officer. Chapman called Charlton “a proven leader” and said he will continue at the helm of CenterPoint’s East Region investments team in the near term.

Charlton joined CenterPoint as senior vice president of investments in 2015 to oversee the company’s East Region portfolio growth. Before joining CenterPoint, he served as principal and senior vice president of investments for KTR Capital Partners.
