Bali's First End-to-End Bamboo-Led Developer
From land sourcing to turn-key delivery
About NDG
About the Founder
The real change began in 2023, during my first trip to Bali with my family. We had always dreamed of visiting, as our roots lie in Indonesia, but the pandemic and other challenges had kept us away for years.
I arrived in Bali at a moment in my life when I felt disconnected from myself and everything around me. After seeing my mother truly happy and carefree again for the first time in a while, something shifted in me — I realized I wanted to recreate that feeling for her, for others, and build something meaningful in the process.
“One day I will have my own building with my name on it and sooner than you think, trust me.”
— Thijs van Nierop, Founder
Our Journey
We officially started in early 2024, inspired by an international development that introduced us to the world of real estate investing. From the beginning, we quickly saw how this industry could create value for both investors and end-users.
By early 2025, we fully relocated to Bali to manage ongoing projects directly. Six months later, a turning point occurred through a private bamboo villa development — we achieved greater design freedom, much lower investment requirements, and shorter development timelines.

Our Mission
To provide investors from around the world with safe, transparent, and strategic access to end-to-end development support across Asia, with a strong focus on projects that combine natural materials like bamboo with modern architecture.
The Problem
Limited Access & Uncertainty
Foreign investors face barriers to prime locations and unclear processes when entering Bali's real estate market.
Project Management & Fragmentation
Multiple contractors, inconsistent quality, and lack of oversight lead to fragmented development experiences.
Non-Sustainable Methods
Conventional development offers low design freedom, inefficiency, and limited sustainability options.
Our Solution
Strategic Accessibility
We offer prime location access through strong local connections and direct landlord-to-investor contracts.
