European privately-held retail specialist Redevco has announced the departure of its Turkish unit's development director and board member Harold Reniers.

The resignation, decided by mutual consent, comes hard on the heels of Redevco's announcement that it had agreed to sell its entire Turkish portfolio and management platform to affiliates of The Blackstone Group.

Reniers has contributed to the build-up of the local organisation since summer 2006 when Redevco entered the Turkish market. Gordion Shopping Center in Ankara, Erzurum Shopping Center in Erzurum and Magnesia Shopping Center in Manisa were Redevco Turkey's key developments in this period.

Prior to Redevco, Reniers worked for Multi Development Corporation and was involved in a range of commercial projects in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Turkey.
