StudentSpace, a student housing platform, has secured PLN 177.8 million in financing from Bank Pekao S.A. to support the development of three student dormitories in Kraków. The funding will enable the construction of over 1,200 student beds across two locations, with the facilities expected to be ready by the upcoming academic year. The three buildings—one located on 29 Listopada Alley and two on Wita Stwosza Street—are designed to address the increasing demand for modern student accommodation in Kraków, a city with a growing population of domestic and international students. The dormitories will offer residential units alongside communal areas and access to nearby academic institutions. Since launching in March 2024, StudentSpace has focused on acquiring land and developing student housing projects. It is backed by a joint venture involving Signal Capital Partners, Griffin Capital Partners, and Echo Investment. The company’s current pipeline includes six projects with a combined capacity of more than 2,800 beds—three in Kraków and three in Warsaw. Griffin Capital Partners serves as the investment and asset manager of the platform. The transaction was led by Artem Kovtun, Vice President Finance at Griffin Capital Partners, and Oskar Miller, Finance Manager at StudentSpace.
