Mark IV Capital, a Newport Beach, CA-based commercial real estate investment firm, has appointed long-time President Evan Slavik as the company’s new CEO, following the retirement of Paul Cate. Mark IV’s projects include Victory Logistics District in Reno, NV and The District in Round Rock, TX.

In addition to its commercial and real estate investment focus, Slavik will oversee Mark IV Capital’s venture capital division. “As we look ahead, we will continue to capitalize on our unusually long-term investment horizon and align ourselves with partners and investors that have similar goals,” said Slavik.

Paul Cate led the company for 24 years, and during his tenure, Mark IV Capital grew to seven markets across five states. “I am honored to have had the opportunity to work for Mark IV Capital for over two decades,” said Cate. “This is a truly preeminent company and I look forward to enjoying retirement knowing the company is in great hands under Evan Slavik’s leadership.”
