StudentSpace has secured PLN 215.8 million in financing from PKO Bank Polski to support the development of two student housing projects in Warsaw.
The financing will be used for projects including a development on Wołoska Street, with the two schemes expected to provide around 1,100 student beds in total.
The transaction follows earlier financing obtained for StudentSpace projects in Kraków and forms part of the platform’s broader expansion in Poland’s purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector.
Warsaw remains one of the country’s largest academic centres, while the supply of modern student accommodation continues to lag demand. StudentSpace said the new financing would support the further growth of its Warsaw portfolio alongside its focus on operational management and sustainability standards.
Marek Obuchowicz said the Polish PBSA market continues to develop as institutional investors increase their presence in the sector, supported by demand for modern student housing.
StudentSpace developments are designed to include private rooms and shared amenities such as study areas, gyms, kitchens, workshop spaces and communal facilities intended to support student living and social interaction.
The platform’s current pipeline includes six projects with approximately 2,800 beds across Kraków and Warsaw.
StudentSpace was launched in 2024 as a joint venture between SIGNAL Capital Partners, Griffin Capital Partners and Echo Investment.
Griffin Capital Partners acts as investment and asset manager for the platform. The financing transaction on behalf of StudentSpace was led by Artem Kovtun.
