Mark IV Capital

What Mark IV Capital does

Mark IV Capital is a privately held, family-owned investment platform founded in 1974 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California. The firm operates across three core business lines: real estate development, real estate investment management, and private equity. The real estate platform develops, acquires, and manages commercial properties spanning industrial, multifamily, retail, office, medical office, hotel, and entertainment asset classes across five states (California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Texas) with seven regional offices.

The company's real estate portfolio exceeds 4 million square feet of developed property plus 5,000 acres of developable land, with flagship projects including Victory Logistics District (a 4,300-acre master-planned industrial development in Fernley, Nevada targeting 25+ million square feet over a 20-year horizon) and The District (a $1 billion+ mixed-use development on former Dell land in Round Rock, Texas). Anchor tenants include Redwood Materials (815,215 SF industrial lease) and Amazon (122,806 SF at Centerra IV in Loveland, Colorado). The firm emphasizes LEED-certified sustainability standards and multimodal logistics infrastructure with rail and highway access.

The private equity platform, formalized in 2015, allocates capital to Series A and B rounds in companies with unique intellectual property in deep technologies, robotics, AI, and material science. A Family Office division serves shareholders. Revenue is generated through rental income, development fees, property sales, and equity appreciation. The firm has secured institutional capital partnerships, including an $86 million construction loan from BDT & MSD Partners and Apollo Global Management in 2025, and operates a 2023 alliance with CerraCap Ventures for co-investment deal flow.
