Dr Bryan Ngoi, a Professor at Nanyang Technology University (Singapore), founded BN Land Ltd. During his Ph.D. studies in New Zealand, Dr Ngoi chanced upon opportunities in real estate development.

Upon his return to Singapore, he decided to enhance his knowledge of house construction by building bungalows in Singapore as a hobby, which started his path into real estate development. He then acquired 20 acres of land in Auckland, sub-divided the land into 162 sections, and built residential dwellings to meet the severe housing shortage.

In his quest to acquire a beach waterfront home for his enjoyment, he stumbled upon a waterfront motel available for sale and dived into the hospitality business.

Dr Ngoi later went on to acquire two commercial buildings in Auckland city, one of which is the Mercure Hotel @ Queens.
