This statement relates to Class I Shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of CLARION PARTNERS REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND INC., a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer"). The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 620 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10018.

Item 2. Identity and Background

(a), (f) This Schedule 13D is being filed by Franklin Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FRI”), Charles B. Johnson (“C. Johnson”), Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (“R. Johnson, Jr.”), and Franklin Advisers, Inc., a California corporation (“FAV”, and together with FRI, C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr., the “Reporting Persons”). FAV is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI. C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. are the principal stockholders of FRI. R. Johnson, Jr. is also the Vice Chairman of FRI and C. Johnson is an Executive Consultant to FRI. C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. are citizens of the United States.

(b) The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is One Franklin Parkway, San Mateo, California 94403-1906. The directors and principal executive officers of FRI and FAV, their present principal occupations, citizenship and business addresses are listed on Exhibit B.

(c) The principal business of FRI is to act as a holding company for various subsidiaries engaged in the investment management and related services business and FRI makes investments to advance the interests of its investment management business. The principal business of FAV is to act as an investment adviser. The principal occupation of each of C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. are listed on Exhibit B.

(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Exhibit B, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Exhibit B, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Persons have invested in the Issuer as follows:

•15,777,928 Shares were acquired for a purchase price of $175,545,377, inclusive of $50,000,000 paid by Legg Mason, Inc. (now a subsidiary of FRI), from FRI’s and Legg Mason, Inc.’s working capital; and

•9,720,811 Shares were acquired for a purchase price of $122,268,202 for the benefit of fiduciary accounts managed by FRI’s investment management subsidiaries from their working capital, including a fund managed by FAV.

In addition, on March 12, 2021 5,223 Class S Shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, 5,232 Class T Shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, and 5,251 Class D Shares of Common Stock of the Issuer were transferred for no consideration from Legg Mason, Inc. to FRI. C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. do not own directly any shares of the Issuer.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

FRI and its investment management subsidiaries, including FAV, acquired the Shares for investment and to facilitate the acquisition of the Issuer’s commercial real estate investments. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of the Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of the Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of the Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable. Other factors that may affect the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Shares include, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, results, prospects and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s portfolio managers, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions.

Except as described above, none of FRI and its investment management subsidiaries, and none of any of the other Reporting Persons covered by this Schedule 13D, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or any present plans or intentions to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may at any time review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans or proposals.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b)

See cover pages. FRI is filing this report for itself and its affiliates. FRI and its investment management subsidiaries may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares for which such investment management subsidiaries are the investment adviser for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). In addition, FAV may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares in its capacity as the investment adviser to Franklin Income Fund, a series of Franklin Custodian Funds, an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Franklin Income Fund"), pursuant to an investment management contract that grants investment and/or voting power to FAV. When an investment management contract (including a sub-advisory agreement) delegates to FAV investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the

investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats FAV as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement specifies otherwise.

CUSIP NO. 180567406 Page 7 of 14

Beneficial ownership by FRI and its affiliates is being reported herein in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “1998 Release ”) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by each of FRI's affiliates whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of FRI in accordance with the 1998 Release ("FRI Disaggregated Affiliates") are exercised independently from FRI and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and the investment management subsidiaries of FRI other than FRI Disaggregated Affiliates are collectively, "FRI Aggregated Affiliates"). Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates, and, on the other hand, FRI, establish informational barriers that prevent the flow among, on the one hand, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates (including preventing the flow between such entities), and, on the other hand, the FRI Aggregated Affiliates, of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, FRI Disaggregated Affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from the FRI Aggregated Affiliates for purposes of Section 13 of the Act.

C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. (the “Principal Shareholders”) each own in excess of 10% of FRI’s outstanding common stock and are the principal stockholders of FRI. The Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of the Shares. FRI, FAV, and the Principal Shareholders disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Shares. In addition, the filing of the Schedule 13D on behalf of FRI and the Principal Shareholders should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it or he is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Shares.

FRI, FAV, and the Principal Shareholders believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Shares held by any of them.

The number of Shares as to which each reporting person on this Schedule 13D has:

(i)Sole power to vote or to direct the vote of the Shares:

Franklin Resources, Inc.: 15,777,928

Charles B. Johnson: 0

Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.: 0

Franklin Advisers, Inc.: 7,867,833

Fiduciary Trust Company International: 1,852,978

Charles B. Johnson: 0

Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.: 0

Franklin Advisers, Inc.: 7,867,833

Fiduciary Trust Company International: 1,089,202

(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Shares: 0

transactions in the Shares during the past sixty days.

(d The clients of FRI’s investment management subsidiaries, including investment

companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed

accounts, have the right to receive or power to direct the receipt of dividends

from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the securities reported herein.

Franklin Income Fund has an interest in 7,867,833 Shares, or 15.4% of the Shares.
