I have multiple documents that I want certain areas to be redacted, they happen to be in the same area, is there a way I can just select the area once and the redaction to be applied to multiple documents?

    Yes, but not that easily.

    If you have Acrobat Pro you can create an Action that will redact the same area (on all pages?) and then run it on multiple files. You would need to create the redaction comment using a script, though. If you share a sample file that has a comment (Square, or Redaction) over the desired area I could help you with the code to achieve it.
