Hook Strengthens Capital Strategy for Mark IV Capital
Jerry Hook is Vice President, Capital Markets for Mark IV Capital. He leads capital market initiatives and strategies, while sourcing debt and equity at the enterprise and project levels. Since joining the firm in 2025, Hook has been diversifying the company’s capital strategy by developing relationships with equity groups, lenders and capital partners.
In Q4 2025, Hook helped increase Mark IV Capital’s liquidity, more than doubling the company’s real estate line of credit from $100 million to $225 million and refinancing numerous assets where adding leverage was strategic.
In early 2026, Hook capitalized on the first phase of The District, a master-planned mixed-use development in Round Rock, TX. An $86-million construction loan was provided by BDT & MSD Partners, with participation from an Apollo affiliate. The financing will support the construction of the 316-unit luxury multifamily residences situated above 23,042 square feet of ground-floor retail. The project will also include a 40,750-square-foot Food and Beverage plaza.
Hook is an active member of NAIOP’s SoCal chapter and of NAIOP’s National Forums.
These are just a few reasons we chose Jerry Hook as one of Connect CRE’s California Next Generation Award winners. Connect CRE’s annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders who will have a strong influence on the commercial real estate industry.
