MANCHESTER, UK, June 25, 2026 – Fast-growing storage specialist BNKer has announced its entry into the London market, taking its innovative residential storage solution to apartment developments in some of the capital’s busiest and most densely populated neighbourhoods. The expansion follows early success in Manchester and reflects rising demand for smarter use of space within residential buildings.
Having built a presence across Manchester’s apartment developments, BNKer is now widening its reach through partnerships across the UK, with projects already planned in areas such as Westminster, Tower Bridge and Battersea.
Although still in its first year, the company has generated significant interest from property owners and operators looking to unlock additional value from underused building areas while improving living standards for residents.
The business originally focused on supporting apartment schemes in Manchester’s high-growth residential districts. As awareness of the concept has increased, developers outside the North West have begun adopting the model, helping drive expansion into London’s residential sector.
BNKer converts unused areas within residential buildings into secure storage units. Common installation locations include basements, bike storage rooms, parking areas and vacant utility spaces. The company oversees every element of the operation, from installation and customer management to insurance and maintenance, allowing landlords to benefit from a recurring revenue stream without additional costs.
Residents also benefit from the service, gaining convenient access to secure storage space within their building. This helps reduce clutter and eliminates the need for external storage providers.
The offering is particularly well suited to London, where apartment sizes are often limited and demand for space remains high. Growing populations within residential developments are increasing the need for accessible storage options that fit modern urban lifestyles.
For property developers and operators, the solution creates a new amenity that can improve resident satisfaction while making productive use of previously overlooked building areas.
Commenting on the expansion, BNKer Founder David Fricker said: “London presents a huge opportunity for BNKer because space is at such a premium throughout the city.
“We are excited to bring our model into some of the UK’s leading residential developments and demonstrate how effective in-building storage can be for both residents and property owners.”
With new partnerships continuing to emerge nationwide, BNKer is strengthening its position as an innovative provider of residential infrastructure that helps buildings unlock the potential of existing space.
