In this series, we showcase many of the UK Developers work with. The UK market is full of quality developers with proven track records and who are working hard to solve the housing crisis, despite the hinders placed by Government at every level.

Investors buy quality and lifestyle with a Redrow home

Redrow is one of the UK’s leading residential property developers, with more than 40 years’ experience building quality homes across England and Wales. It has a history of high achievement and is a winner of a multitude of industry awards. On all its developments, Redrow aims to build efficiently, sustainably and responsibly, while delivering premier places to live with a focus on high-quality lifestyle.

Redrow – a property developer with a proud heritage

Redrow’s proud heritage dates back to its foundation as a small civil engineering company in 1974. It embarked on its first major housing development in 1979, at Denbigh in North Wales. By the mid-1980s, Redrow had established itself as a quality national homebuilder. It introduced its ‘Heritage’ collection in the 1990s, and it was then that industry awards began to flow its way.

It hasn’t all been plain sailing for the company. Redrow was hit as hard as other homebuilders during the Global Financial Crisis and Credit Crunch. The product range was redesigned and relaunched in 2010, and this helped to restore Redrow’s reputation as a builder of premium-brand, high-quality homes for all lifestyles.

It has continued to grow its product range and opened new regional divisions to help improve its development capabilities and geographical reach. It is now the developer of choice for many urban and rural projects. These include the mixed-use Colindale Gardens in North West London and the Woodford Garden Village in the North West.

A three-legged focus

Redrow’s approach to developing delivers excellence across all its business areas. To achieve world-class excellence, it focuses on:

  • Developing in outstanding locations, creating environments to stand the test of time
  • Building beautiful homes, to a quality unsurpassed by others
  • Employing the very best, dedicated workforce and business partners, with all stakeholders (including staff and customers) treated as equals

Redrow is continually searching for the best locations to add to its land bank. It builds where people want to live, work, and enjoy life.

By understanding current and future market trends, Redrow has built an enviable track record of creating award-winning homes.

The company has been a leader in the development of talent, creating hundreds of jobs and employing record numbers of apprentices to support its future growth.

Recognised by the industry

Every year, Redrow scoops awards across its three focus areas. This year alone, it has won awards for safety on construction sites, the quality of its learning and development and apprenticeship schemes, and interior design.

In 2016, Redrow won the Best Large Housebuilder Silver Award at the WhatHouse? Awards, was the winner of the Show Home of the Year at the North West Property Awards, won several Residential Development awards at the UK Property Awards, and numerous NHBC Pride in the Job Awards, amongst others.
