RivingtonHark, the UK’s leading independent specialist in shopping centers and urban regeneration, has announced the appointment of Ilan Goldman as Portfolio Director. The move further strengthens the business’ capabilities as it continues to expand its asset management platform and actively pursues new shopping centre investment acquisitions across the UK.
With over 30 years of experience Ilan has built a strong track record of delivering value across shopping centre, mixed-use and regeneration projects. He specializes in unlocking asset potential through innovative repositioning strategies that drive growth.
Some of Ilan’s most notable projects include securing planning consent for the redevelopment of St John’s Shopping Centre in Preston into a modern mixed-use destination with 500 new homes, an NHS health hub, and F&B space. He also led the successful delivery of a significant educational campus for Kendal College within Westmorland Shopping Centre as part of a wider asset transformation program.
Alongside helping the business fulfill its mandate to acquire more shopping centre assets Ilan’s portfolio will include Liverpool St John’s shopping centre, an asset owned in joint venture, as well as Palace Gardens and Exchange Enfield, managed on behalf of DWS.
Mark Harvey, Executive Director and Head of Asset Management at RivingtonHark, said: “Ilan is an exceptionally experienced and driven professional, and we are delighted to welcome him to RivingtonHark.

The opportunity to join the team at such an exciting stage of their growth was one I could not pass up.
