Cunat
Overview
Cunat is an Illinois-based, vertically integrated multifamily developer and manager with a track record stretching back to 1972, extending into the DST channel on the strength of in-house development and property-management capabilities. Its profile is that of a long-tenured Midwest operator trading on operational control rather than scale; current AUM is not publicly disclosed.
