Stokado, an operator in the Polish self-storage market, has commenced construction on its second development project in Krakow. The new building, offering over 3,000 square meters of net lettable area, will be available to clients in spring 2026.
Stokado is jointly owned by Redefine Properties, Griffin Capital Partners, and the company’s founders.
The new facility will be located on Nowohucka Street in Krakow, directly adjacent to the M1 shopping center. According to Stokado, “both private and business clients will have access to a modern, fully automated facility. As with other Stokado properties, box reservations will be available via the website or app, and access to the facility and individual units will be granted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The building has been designed to achieve a BREEAM certification at the Very Good level and will feature a range of environmentally friendly solutions, including photovoltaic panels, LED lighting, and a heat pump.”
“Stokado currently operates self-storage facilities in 12 cities across Poland,” noted Pieter Prinsloo, Chief Executive Officer of Redefine Europe BV. “Following the acquisition of the company in 2023, we have focused on further expansion, particularly in Warsaw and other key cities, including Krakow. Evidence of the successful implementation of this strategy can be seen in two projects secured last year – one in Warsaw’s Bemowo district and the other in Krakow’s Bronowice, which will be completed this summer. Now, our portfolio is expanding with a new facility in Krakow, and in the coming months, we plan to announce additional ambitious projects.”
“The self-storage market in Poland is still far from saturation, and the demand for modern, well-located facilities that meet environmental standards is growing both from customers and investors,” added Piotr Fijołek, Co-Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners. “In addition to Warsaw and Krakow, we are also focusing on other cities that offer substantial development potential in this segment. We have already secured several plots of land for future investments. We plan to begin construction on four new facilities by the end of this year across various locations in Poland, which will enable us to better meet the increasing market demand.”
