Stokado, the second largest operator on the Polish self-storage market, has started construction of two new development projects in Wrocław and Warsaw. These initiatives represent the company's fourth and fifth ground-up developments since its acquisition by Redefine Properties and Griffin Capital Partners in 2023.


The Wrocław development, located in the city's southwest, will add over 5,000 sqm of NLA to Stokado's portfolio. As the company's sixth facility in the Wrocław metropolitan area, it is designed to meet demand for storage in developing residential zones such as Bielany Wrocławskie, Oporów, Klecina, Krzyki, Ołtaszyn, and Grabiszyn. Construction is being led by general contractor SAVI, with completion expected in autumn 2026.

In Warsaw, construction is underway on a new 5,500 sqm NLA facility, marking a key step in Stokado's expansion in the capital city. Standing approximately 20 metres tall, the Warsaw facility will be one of the tallest self-storage buildings in Poland. The project is being delivered by general contractor MBT, with handover planned for autumn 2026.

"We are pleased to see our development pipeline in Poland progressing at pace. Since acquiring Stokado, one of our core objectives has been to accelerate the delivery of high-quality, environmentally responsible assets in key urban locations," says Pieter Prinsloo, CEO at Redefine Europe BV. Marcin Rękawiczny, Vice President Investments at Griffin Capital Partners, adds: "Wrocław holds a special place in Stokado's history, and we are proud to continue investing in the city where the brand was born."

Both new buildings have been designed to achieve a Very Good rating under full BREEAM certification. Features include photovoltaic panels, ground source heat exchangers with heat pumps, energy management BMS systems, and LED lighting. The facilities will offer contactless service, 24/7 access, CCTV coverage, and a mobile app for managing bookings and payments.
