A new warehouse will be built next to a Krakow shopping center

Stokado, the second largest operator in the rapidly growing Polish self-storage market, owned by Redefine Properties, Griffin Capital Partners and the company's founders, has started construction of its second development project in Krakow.

The new building is expected to have a net leasable area (NLA) of over 3,000 sqm.
Thanks to its location right next to a main artery, the warehouse will be perfectly visible from the level of the III Krakow ring road.
The facility will be made available to customers in the spring of 2026.

The newly emerging facility with an area of over 3,000 sqm NLA will be located on the busy Nowohucka street in Krakow, in the immediate vicinity of the M1 shopping center. Thanks to its location right next to a main artery, the warehouse will be perfectly visible from the level of the III Krakow ring road. The location near a large shopping center and numerous residential estates is in line with the company's strategy. When choosing plots for new investments, the company is guided primarily by the comfort and convenience of its customers, ensuring easy access and convenient transport links to them.

Customers, both private and business, will have at their disposal a modern, fully automated facility. Similar to other Stokado locations, unit reservations can be made via the website or application, and access to the facility and the unit will be possible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The building has been designed to receive BREEAM certification at the Very Good level – it will be equipped with numerous pro-ecological solutions, such as photovoltaic panels, LED lighting and a heat pump.

– Stokado already has self-storage warehouses in 12 cities in Poland. After the acquisition of the company in 2023, we focused on further development, especially in Warsaw and other key cities, including Krakow. Proof of the implementation of this strategy are two investments secured last year – in the Bemowo district of Warsaw and in the Bronowice district of Krakow, which will be put into use this summer. Now our portfolio is growing with another facility in Krakow, and in the coming months we plan to announce new, ambitious projects – comments Pieter Prinsloo, Chief Executive Officer at Redefine Europe BV.

– The self-storage market in Poland has not yet reached full saturation, and the demand for modern, well-located facilities that meet environmental standards is growing both on the part of customers and investors. In addition to Warsaw and Krakow, we are also looking at other cities that offer great development potential in this segment. We have currently secured several plots that form the foundation for our future investments. We plan to start construction of four new facilities by the end of this year, in various parts of Poland, which will allow us to even better meet the growing needs of the market – says Piotr Fijołek, Co-Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners.
