Griffin Capital Partners

CATEGORY
Investor of the Year, CEE
Griffin Capital Partners, CEE’s largest privately owned investment and asset manager in private equity and real estate demonstrated exceptional market leadership in 2024-2025, especially in self-storage and PRS. The company also opened a German office in early 2025, further expanding its operations. After Stokado and then TopBox's Polish operations aquisition (JV with Redefine Properties), the company began construction of the country's first self-storage facility designed to BREEAM standards (Kraków Sosnowiecka, opening August 2025). 3 additional facilities are under construction across Warsaw, Krakow, and Wrocław. These latest projects bring Stokado's base July 2024 portfolio of NLA 28 000 sq m up by 70%. At the same time, StudentSpace, co-funded by GCP, Signal Capital and Echo Investment is transforming student housing. With 1,200+ beds across three Krakow dormitories, the platform expanded local modern PBSA capacity by 33% and targets 5,000 operating beds within three years.
