Two of Ibstock’s most distinctive brick styles have taken centre stage in a prestigious new residential development by Redrow Southeast, delivering both visual impact and structural performance in the final phase of the Ebbsfleet Green Garden City masterplan.
Located in the heart of Kent, Plaza Central is a contemporary collection of 126 energy-efficient one and two-bedroom apartments designed with modern lifestyles in mind. Of these, 79 were released for private ownership, while the remaining 47 homes contribute to much-needed affordable housing in the region. The development is tailored to suit young professionals, with sleek, spacious interiors, en suite bedrooms, and high-spec designer kitchens – a fusion of elegance, practicality, and premium finishes.
The architectural character of the scheme is brought to life through the careful selection of two signature Ibstock bricks: New Chailey Stock and Bradgate Medium Grey. These frogged facing bricks not only offer strong aesthetic appeal but also superior durability, making them an ideal choice for a high-profile, long-lasting build. The New Chailey Stock brings warmth with its red/multi tones and lightly textured finish, evoking a sense of traditional charm, while the Bradgate Medium Grey adds a cool, modern contrast with its soft grey hues and equally refined texture.
“The inclusion of two of our most sought-after brick types in Plaza Central is a real testament to their versatility and quality,” said Keeley Fitzpatrick, Account Manager at Ibstock. “Redrow’s reputation for excellence makes them a respected housebuilder, and it’s rewarding to see how our bricks enhance the style, character and overall impact of such a contemporary and community-focused scheme.”
Plaza Central also places a strong emphasis on lifestyle and sustainability. Surrounded by over 40% green space – including parks, play areas, allotments, and sports pitches – the development is more than just a place to live; it’s a place to thrive. Residents also benefit from easy access to local amenities including a school, shops, a pub and a hotel.
For commuters, the location couldn’t be better – Ebbsfleet International offers high-speed rail services to London St Pancras in under 20 minutes, connecting homebuyers to the capital in record time.
