Creating places for people to enjoy now and for years to come. 

At Redrow we believe in building better places to live. Our passion for design, sustainability, innovation and people ensures we bring this vision to life.

Our extensive experience helps us to understand the wants and needs of growing communities and we use this unique insight to ensure we’re always improving what we do.

Our distinctive high quality homes sit together, with fantastic community facilities and within stunning natural settings or vibrant city suburbs to form a whole new place for people to live and a place to feel proud of.

We are incredibly passionate about what we do and we hope our developments will inspire the next generation of housebuilders and form new communities that provide people with a better way to live.

Woodford Garden Village is set to be one of the biggest developments in the North West over the next ten years; delivering over 900 new homes, as well as a host of brand new facilities all within easy reach of central Manchester.

Based at the historic former aerodrome at Woodford where iconic aircraft such as the Lancaster and Vulcan bombers were manufactured, phase one of this landmark development consists of 145 high quality homes in a range of sizes from two to five bedrooms. Sensitive to its idyllic rural location, the development will feature significant acreage of public open spaces; including traditional village greens and promenades that will create a superb environment for years to come. This major development required significant planning and all elements were carefully considered to ensure Woodford retained its iconic history and provided the community with attractive outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed all year round.

Using traditional garden village principals we have been able to design a thriving community that has enhanced the surrounding environment. The homes fit seamlessly with the local vernacular, the tree-lined avenues create a picturesque place to live and the classic village green, parks and play areas provide room to grow.

This has not only opened up the space for all to enjoy but it has encouraged those living here to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

Ebbsfleet Green, Kent

Ebbsfleet Green is more than a place to live; it’s a place for living. This 100 acre site in Kent has been developed into a sustainable community where everyone feels connected to the environment and each other.

Since its inception, every element of Ebbsfleet Green has been carefully considered, from looking after the heritage of the site, to building new streets that connect residents to the wider area.

The development has provided 920 new homes, which all sit within an attractive setting that’s linked by footpaths, cycleways and tree-lined avenues. There’s something here for everyone, with three distinct villages, a selection of starter, affordable and family homes and a combination of properties from our Heritage, Abode and Regent collections.

The vibrant village hub is at the heart of the community, designed to bring people together and provide them with everything they need for everyday life. A picturesque village green sits at its centre, with space for communal gatherings and a chance to enjoy a breath of fresh air. One third of the development has been left for public open space and sports fields, enabling residents to stretch their legs and encouraging them to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. The allotments and orchards have also been designed with sustainability and healthy living in mind.

The village also has space for a community centre, a primary school, shops, a new hotel and a pub. Although all of this is within walking distance, transport connections have been carefully planned including the bus route that runs through the development linking residents to the wider area.

All of this combines to create a special community that enriches the lives of all who live here.

Plasdwr, Cardiff
Plasdwr, Cardiff

One of our most ambitious projects to date, this £2bn garden village will deliver 7,000 homes on over 350 hectares of land over the next 15-20 years.

Our vision at Plasdwr is to create a world-class, sustainable community that blends the history of the area with the best of modern living, all within a stunning country park setting.

A key factor in our master plan has been developing sustainable transport links. Rapid growth throughout the area has led to a lot of congestion within Cardiff and the surrounding area. Our challenge has involved helping to solve the city’s housing problems whilst trying to avoid adding to the transport problems. To achieve this we have worked closely with The City of Cardiff Council to ensure that Plasdwr complements the Local Transport Plan.

We have supported extra bus services and new bus stops throughout the development to ensure residents are within walking distance of affordable and reliable public transport. We have also invested millions of pounds in new bus lanes in and around Plasdwr and developed safe cycle routes and cycle superhighways. This all combines to encourage local residents to adopt sustainable transport habits from the day they move in.

Residents will also have access to a range of excellent facilities on their doorstep including four primary schools, a secondary school, a health centre, shops, leisure centres, pubs and restaurants. This will not only provide people with places to go and things to do, it will also result in around 3,000 new jobs so residents can work, rest and play without ever leaving the community.

With our ability to see the problems of the present and develop solutions for the future, our vision of an innovative new garden village has truly been brought to life at Plasdwr.

Colindale Gardens, North London

By opening up the site, transforming it into a new neighbourhood and connecting it to the surrounding streets, Colindale Gardens is uniting the area as a thriving community.

Colindale Gardens in North London, is a 48 acre site formerly owned by the Metropolitan Police. Within a decade more than 6,000 people will live at Colindale Gardens. In addition to the 2,900 new homes, across 24 blocks of apartments and townhouses with a residents’ gym and concierge service, there will be a new neighbourhood centre with commercial and retail space.

The scheme is designed around a network of outside spaces including walkways, cycle paths, large open green spaces and the central four acre park – effectively a modern village green for the new community.

Around £143m of community benefits are being provided as a result of the development. These include a primary school, a health centre, a new neighbourhood centre, a nursery, nine acres of public open space and community financial contributions. £11m will be invested in transport around the development including enhancements to Colindale tube station and bus routes in the local area.

Amington Garden Village reflects Redrow’s commitment to put the natural environment at the heart of its developments as part of the ethos of creating thriving communities.

Redevelopment of the 60 hectare, former golf course site was a complex undertaking. The 1,100 home scheme has potential for up to a decade of production.

A landscape strategy was drawn up to outline how 25 hectares of land would be retained and enhanced as public open space for recreational use by the wider community. The design aims to retain existing good quality trees and hedgerows and will be enhanced by the addition of new trees, shrubs, hedgerows and wetland planting.

A new community woodland which will include footways and cycleways will be created in the south west of the development of c8 hectares along with a community orchard and an equipped play area.

Amington Garden Village is a prime example of Redrow’s placemaking principles of creating sustainable developments which are great places to live.

Amington Garden Village offers everything from two bedroom properties to substantial five bedroom family homes. The result is a community which is home to first time buyers, families and rightsizers.
