Stokado Pioneers Premium Business Storage in Kraków
Stokado, a leading self-storage operator in Poland, has officially opened its flagship facility in Kraków, marking a significant step forward for commercial storage solutions in the region. Located on Sosnowiecka Street, strategically near the Bronowice shopping centre, this state-of-the-art development offers over 5,000 sqm of net lettable area. It provides businesses with a much-needed modern alternative for flexible storage, inventory management, and secure archiving, moving beyond traditional warehouse models.
Sustainable Excellence: Poland's First BREEAM Certified Self-Storage for Businesses
A key differentiator for Stokado's new Kraków facility is its prestigious BREEAM certification, making it the first self-storage building in Poland to achieve this from both the design and construction phases. For businesses committed to sustainability and seeking environmentally responsible partners, this certification underscores Stokado's dedication to high operational standards, energy efficiency, and a reduced environmental footprint. This green credential offers a tangible benefit for companies looking to align their operations with sustainable practices.
Flexible, Secure & Digitally Managed Solutions for Modern Enterprises
Designed with the dynamic needs of contemporary businesses in mind, Stokado's Kraków facility offers an array of features tailored for enterprise efficiency and convenience:
24/7 Access: Guaranteeing constant availability to your stored assets, essential for flexible business operations. Fully Contactless Service & Mobile App Management: Streamlining the entire rental process, from booking to access, through advanced digital solutions. Spacious Loading & Unloading Areas: Optimized for efficient logistics, supported by complimentary trolleys. On-Site Support & Parcel Handling: Professional staff provide assistance and offer valuable services like parcel receiving and dispatch, a critical advantage for e-commerce, distribution, and service-based businesses. Packing Materials Store: Conveniently available on-site to simplify your packing and moving needs.
Pieter Prinsloo, CEO of Redefine Europe BV, emphasized the facility’s design “with the end user in mind,” providing a variety of unit sizes to accommodate diverse business needs, from vital documents to large equipment. Advanced security systems, including comprehensive CCTV, electronic access controls, and individual alarms, ensure peace of mind for stored assets.
Addressing the Untapped Potential of Business Storage in Poland
The launch of Stokado’s Kraków facility highlights the immense growth potential within Poland’s self-storage market. Piotr Fijołek, Co-Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, noted that Poland currently hosts only around 200 self-storage facilities, a stark contrast to approximately 9,500 across Europe. This significant disparity points to a robust, underserved market, particularly for high-quality, business-focused storage solutions.
Stokado is at the forefront of this expansion, with plans to break ground on three new facilities this year. A crucial aspect of their strategy is that all current and future projects are designed to meet stringent BREEAM standards and are fully digitised, ensuring a consistent, modern, and high-quality offering throughout their portfolio. Owned by Redefine Properties, Griffin Capital Partners, and its founders, Stokado currently operates 20 facilities in Poland, managing 28,000 sqm of space and serving approximately 3,000 private and business customers.
