Beachside, North New Brighton: Chapman Lindsay Developments Ltd
Childhood days spent enjoying the beachside delights of New Brighton instilled an abiding love for the area in Emma Chapman-Lindsay. Now she’s helping rejuvenate the town, one development at a time.
Half of the Chapman-Lindsay Development partnership, Emma grew up in Queenspark, and spent many of her childhood free time visiting her grandparents in New Brighton. The seaside suburb has always been vastly underrated, she says. Together with husband and business partner Bryce Chapman, Emma wants that to change. 
Their development company is currently putting the finishing touches to its latest project at 50 Marine Parade in New Brighton. Ultimate seaside living, the four townhouses are directly across
the road from the beach, with amazing sea views, far and wide. This is the couple’s third development in the seaside town, part of their wider plan to rejuvenate it. Three of the four townhouses have sold already, proving to be as popular as previous projects, one of which sold for more than $1 million.
“Initially we wanted to help turn New Brighton around, get it moving forward, and do something that would encourage other developers to create high-quality homes in this amazing location. “It’s beautiful coastal living, a seaside lifestyle at its best,” says Emma, who still loves the area so much that she lives nearby.”
Currently at the insualtion stage, the latest townhouses should be painted before Christmas, and completed by February 2025, says Emma. The elegant three and four bedroom townhouses have been designed with the location in mind, suitable for purchasers looking for their first home through to retirees looking to downsize.
Situated opposite the beach in a calm and relaxing environment, they’re ideally sited for taking beach strolls, waxing down the surfboards, and watching the sun rise. The location also lends itself to numerous outdoor activities, such as mountain biking through nearby Bottle Lake Forest or taking the dog for a dip in the ocean.
Features of the townhouses, illustrated here with artist renders, include double level living, high raking ceilings, and open plan kitchen, dining and living. They all come with separate garages, and outdoor showers, in addition to interior bathrooms. The three off-road townhouses also have their own private courtyards.
The four bedroom rear townhouse is for sale with offers over $890,000. The most private of them all, it is a generous 167m2, and includes two bathrooms, a separate toilet, and open plan kitchen, dining and living on ground floor leading out to a private courtyard. A double garage and outdoor shower complete the property. Viewings by arrangement only.
