StudentSpace, a student housing platform developed by Signal Capital Partners, Griffin Capital Partners, and Echo Investment, has commenced construction of the project in Warsaw on Wołoska Street. The eight-story development, scheduled to open in October 2026, will add over 500 beds to Warsaw's PBSA market. Rising on the former site of Curtis Plaza – Poland's first Class A office building – the project marks a significant milestone in the ongoing transformation of the Mokotów district.
8 floor building will offer 500 modern beds in private, fully furnished rooms, as well as multiple communal areas and five retail units on the ground floor. Located in the heart of Warsaw, the project offers a strategic, well-connected location providing students with easy access to major universities, transport hubs, and essential amenities. With its modern infrastructure and full-service offering, the development is well-positioned to serve as a dynamic hub where students live, study, and connect, aligned with StudentSpace's mission to create vibrant, sustainable communities that support both academic and personal success. This will be a continuation of two projects in Cracow in 2025 to further expand the platform’s presence. The building will be ready and open for the school year 2026/2027.
Colman McCarthy, Partner at Signal Capital Partners, says: “The goal of the StudentSpace platform is to deliver modern, sustainable housing that meets the needs of today’s students. With its central location, high-quality design, and community-focused approach, we are excited for this project to help establish a new benchmark for student living in Poland.”
Marek Obuchowicz, Senior Partner at Griffin Capital Partners, adds: “The new StudentSpace development on Wołoska Street is being built on the site of Curtis Plaza, Poland’s first Class A office building and a landmark in Warsaw’s business landscape. This project reflects the broader evolution of this part of Mokotów into a dynamic, mixed-use district, where residential, educational, and commercial functions increasingly coexist. By introducing modern student housing in this location, we’re proud to contribute to the transformation of urban spaces and support the creation of inclusive, future-oriented communities.”
Rafał Mazurczak, Board Member and COO of Echo Investment, comments: “The younger generation of students has clear expectations – they are looking for dorms with high quality, interesting design, proximity to services and entertainment, as well as good communication with universities. We meet these expectations 100% by creating spaces that not only provide accommodation but also address the needs of the student community. We focus on convenient locations, access to culture and entertainment, and, what is particularly important to us as Echo, sustainable development.”
Strategically located near major academic institutions, including the Warsaw School of Economics and the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw, the residence will offer students a modern, fully integrated living environment. The building will feature private rooms with en-suite bathrooms and kitchenettes, high-speed internet, and shared amenities including study zones, shared kitchens, recreational areas, and fitness facilities. Parking and on-demand services such as cleaning and equipment rental will further enhance the living experience. The development also incorporates renewable energy systems, smart building technologies, and resource-efficient design to minimize environmental impact.
This investment is part of StudentSpace's broader strategy to provide modern, energy-efficient student housing across Poland's key academic cities. The project contributes to the company's ambitious goal of delivering 5,000 student beds within the next three years. Griffin Capital Partners serves as the investment and asset manager of the platform. In October 2025, StudentSpace made its operational debut in Poland by opening its first private dormitory buildings in Kraków.
