The real estate industry is usually defined by bottom lines and transactional relationships. In this landscape, Kumo Capital stands out with a competitive advantage, operating as a family-owned and led real estate investment firm. It aims to prove that trust, legacy, and family values aren’t only compatible with modern investment strategies. They’re the foundation of long-term, reliable returns.
Kumo Capital, specializing in multifamily, commercial, and industrial properties, employs a robust value-add and income-focused investment approach. Its model identifies assets below replacement cost in strategic locations with high barriers to entry and implements smart improvements to unlock their full market potential. Its philosophy is straightforward. Maximize returns, minimize risk, and always keep investors informed through transparent reporting and proactive communication.
Still, what truly distinguishes Kumo Capital is its values-driven foundation. The company is guided by a commitment to growth, excellence, adaptability, transparency, and above all, respect. Kumo’s Chairman, Alex Kuritnik, shares: “That respect starts with our investors. Many of them began as family friends and close personal connections. We also extend that respect to the communities we serve and the legacy we’re building.”
The story of Kumo Capital began before the name existed. In 1996, Alex and Victoria Kuritnik, Ukrainian immigrants with backgrounds in fine arts and classical music, purchased their first triple-decker property in Massachusetts. The side hustle that was supposed to support their growing family became a passion project.
By 2008, eldest son Boris had joined the family office, and the Kuritniks launched their property management company to keep operations tight and hands-on. They scaled from small apartment holdings to ground-up developments, leveraging their collective skill sets and remarkable work ethic.
Michael, the youngest son, entered the business in 2016, bringing added energy and strategic foresight. With the full family integrated into operations, the firm began taking on larger entitlement projects and complex developments. The Kuritniks formalized their growing real estate investment platform under the name Kumo Capital by 2021. The launch of their first fund symbolized decades of hard-earned success.
The company’s growth reflects the family’s shared vision, values, and willingness to stay nimble while playing the long game. Being family-led gave Kumo Capital several competitive advantages in the multifamily space, particularly in Massachusetts. For instance, its hands-on approach to acquisitions, management, and renovations meant that no detail was too small to be scrutinized.
“We connect the dots between national trends and neighborhood-level realities, pinpointing inefficiencies that larger institutional players usually overlook,” says Michael Kuritnik, Chief Operating Officer. Indeed, at Kumo Capital, trust isn’t a buzzword. It’s the backbone of the business. With family members overseeing every major operational and financial decision, consistency and alignment were built into the firm’s DNA.
Now, riding the momentum of nearly three decades of growth, Kumo Capital is expanding its footprint beyond its Massachusetts roots, into Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and the Carolinas. “We’re utilizing the same principles that were successful for us in multifamily, with a new focus on small bay industrial properties that, while less flashy than luxury high-rises or tech campuses, offer attractive risk-adjusted returns, low maintenance needs, and steady tenant demand,” says Boris Kuritnik, President.
As the firm opens up new capital opportunities for institutional partners and accredited investors, it remains committed to its founding principles. Kumo Capital still operates with the heart of a family office. Its expansion isn’t just a sign of growth. It’s a reaffirmation of a deeply held belief that success is more than numbers and metrics. It’s a legacy built together.
