MANCHESTER, UK, June 25, 2026 – Residential storage provider BNKer is extending its footprint beyond Manchester and into London, introducing its in-building storage model to apartment schemes across some of the city’s most sought-after residential locations. The move marks a significant milestone for the growing company as it responds to increasing demand for practical storage solutions within high-density housing developments.
Following strong adoption across Manchester’s apartment sector, BNKer has begun forming partnerships throughout the UK, with new opportunities emerging in key London districts including Westminster, Tower Bridge and Battersea.
Despite launching less than a year ago, the company has attracted interest from landlords and property managers seeking new ways to maximise underused building space while enhancing the experience of residents.
Initially focused on apartment communities in Manchester’s rapidly expanding residential market, BNKer’s managed storage offering is now being incorporated into developments outside the North West. This expansion reflects growing recognition of the benefits that integrated storage can provide within modern residential buildings.
BNKer creates secure storage facilities within existing developments by converting overlooked spaces such as basements, cycle storage areas, car parks and spare utility rooms. The business manages every aspect of the service, including installation, promotion, contracts, payments, insurance, maintenance and customer support. Property owners receive a share of recurring revenue without any upfront investment.
The concept is proving attractive to residents as well as landlords. Convenient on-site storage gives apartment occupiers additional room for possessions while removing the inconvenience of travelling to off-site storage facilities.
The service is particularly relevant in London, where living spaces are often more compact and residential density continues to rise. As people spend longer periods living in apartment developments, demand for accessible storage options is becoming increasingly apparent.
For developers and operators, the solution provides an opportunity to improve resident amenities without significant construction work or capital expenditure. Underutilised spaces can be transformed into valuable assets that support residents while generating additional income.
BNKer Founder David Fricker commented: “London is one of the UK’s most space-limited residential markets, making this expansion an exciting step for the business.
“This move allows us to introduce BNKer to some of the country’s most prominent residential developments, where practical storage is becoming increasingly important. We are looking forward to seeing the impact this next stage of growth will have.”
As installations continue to roll out across the UK, BNKer is establishing itself as a valuable addition to modern residential infrastructure, helping buildings make better use of the space they already have.
