Kajima and Griffin Capital Partners complete its largest student depot project in Poland
Kajima Student Housing and Griffin Capital Partners have completed the development of a 795-bed Student Depot dormitory in Kraków, its largest residential scheme in Poland since the partnership entered the Polish market in 2019. The construction of the 11-story, 25,000 sqm building took 17 months, making it one of the fastest large-scale residential developments with fit-out completed in Poland.
The building has been fully let upon completion, demonstrating the depth of demand for quality private dormitories in Poland, with around half of the tenants coming from the domestic market and a half from abroad, particularly Spain.
The project on Al. Pokoju, 1.5km from the historic center of Kraków, provides class-leading studio and shared rooms plus collegiate and quiet co-working spaces, common kitchens, a gym, an entertainment space, a games area, and a movie zone. The building also benefits from a 120 sq m west-facing terrace overlooking the historic center of the city.
Each room is equipped with smart energy-saving software with electricity in the building sourced from a 100% renewable energy provider.
The main contractor of the scheme was Erbud. The property was developed by one of the largest property developers in Poland, Echo Investment.
