StudentSpace has begun construction of its second purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) project in Warsaw, further expanding its presence in Poland’s largest academic market. The development is being delivered by a platform established by SIGNAL Capital Partners, Griffin Capital Partners and Echo Investment.
The new residence will be located in the southern part of Mokotów and is scheduled to open for the 2027/2028 academic year. Once completed, it will provide nearly 600 student beds, increasing the supply of professionally managed student housing in the Polish capital.
The six-storey building will include an underground level and four ground-floor retail units. The project follows the launch of StudentSpace’s first student residences in Kraków and the opening of its first Warsaw facility earlier this year.
According to StudentSpace, the latest development forms part of the company’s strategy to expand its student housing platform in response to growing demand for modern accommodation located close to universities and public transport.
Anna Czaplicka, Head of Sales at StudentSpace, said the project reflects the platform’s focus on delivering accommodation that combines residential, study and social functions while supporting the long-term growth of the PBSA sector in Poland.
The development will be built at the intersection of Beethovena and Dziekońskiego streets in Mokotów, with access to key transport routes including Jana III Sobieskiego and Ludwika Idzikowskiego streets. The location provides connections to universities, services, retail facilities and recreational areas.
In addition to student rooms, the building will include a range of shared amenities designed to support everyday living and study activities. These will include coworking areas, communal spaces, laundry facilities and dedicated areas intended to encourage interaction among residents.
The project will also provide more than 200 parking spaces and bicycle parking facilities.
Purpose-built student accommodation remains a relatively small but growing segment of the Polish residential market. Rising student mobility, increasing numbers of international students and limited availability of high-quality private rental housing have supported investor interest in the sector in recent years.
Warsaw remains the country’s largest higher education centre, attracting students from across Poland and abroad. As a result, developers and investors continue to identify opportunities to expand the supply of professionally managed student housing in locations with access to universities and public transport.
The new StudentSpace development will add further capacity to the Warsaw market as operators seek to address growing demand for accommodation specifically designed for student living.
