Stokado, an operator on the Polish self-storage market, has started construction of a new self-storage facility in the Bemowo district of Warsaw. The new project, which will offer approximately 5,000 square meters of net leasable area, will be Stokado’s second asset in Warsaw, after an asset at Modlinska street.
Stokado is co-owned by Redefine Properties, Griffin Capital Partners, and its founders. The company’s new facility will offer modern storage solutions for both private individuals and businesses and is expected to achieve a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification. The project incorporates eco-friendly features such as solar panels, a heat pump, and energy-efficient LED lighting. Additionally, the entire reservation process can be completed online through the website or mobile app, and access to storage units will be managed via electronic locks, enabling a fully contactless experience. The facility will be accessible 24/7.
“Warsaw plays a crucial role in our expansion strategy across Poland,” said Pieter Prinsloo, Chief Executive Officer at Redefine Europe BV. “The Bemowo facility marks Stokado’s second location in the city, following the already operational Warszawa-Modlinska facility. By investing in modern, sustainable solutions, we’re offering convenient services to both private and business customers while also supporting the growth of Poland’s emerging self-storage sector.”
The Warsaw facility is Stokado’s second project launched this year, following one that began in July and is located in Krakow. The company has recently secured a plot of land in the Gdansk-Brzezno district, which is currently in the permitting process.
“As urbanization and smaller living spaces drive consumer demand for flexible storage solutions, self-storage has become an increasingly attractive option, said Piotr Fijolek, Co-Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners. “Over the next five years, we aim to strengthen Stokado’s position in the market and grow the presence in cities like Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, and the Tri-City. Each project brings us closer to becoming the market leader while providing high-quality, sustainable storage solutions that meet the growing needs of our customers.”
Construction on the Bemowo facility is expected to be completed in October 2025, with the launch of operations following immediately thereafter.
