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.

Stokado, the second-largest operator in Poland’s self-storage market, has secured PLN 80 million in debt financing from Bank Pekao S.A. The funds will partially refinance invested equity and support the development of ongoing projects in Kraków and Warsaw.

Stokado, a company owned by Redefine Properties and Griffin Capital Partners, has acquired Top Box, a self-storage rental company. As a result, Stokado has added 4,500 sqm to its portfolio of operating assets and a further 4,500 sqm to the development pipeline.

Redefine Properties and Griffin Capital Partners have set up a venture to acquire Stokado, Poland's second-largest self-storage operator, to establish a platform to fast-track investment through development activity within this sector.

European convenience real estate investor Mitiska REIM has announced a strategic joint venture partnership with Belgium-based self-storage company, STORO. As part of the agreement, Mitiska REIM, on behalf of the MEREP 3 fund, has purchased a stake in STORO’s self-storage sites.  

The Romanian self-storage market has reached a leasable area of 25,000 sqm in 2022, which was just 0.2% of the total European market, according to real estate consultancy CBRE.
