Vila Natura is a new freehold landed residential project located at 2G Tung Po Avenue, within the fast-growing Lentor precinct. Developed by Aurum Gravis, the project adds to a small and shrinking pool of freehold landed housing in Singapore.
The development sits on a 28,895 sq ft freehold site and will yield 11 exclusive landed homes, made up of five pairs of semi-detached houses and one detached villa. The project is backed by a S$23 million closed-end fund comprising private and accredited investors.
Vila Natura is expected to launch in early 2026, with completion targeted for end 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.

Why Lentor Is Gaining Attention Among Homebuyers
Lentor has transformed rapidly in recent years. The opening of Lentor MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line has anchored a wave of new private residential developments, lifestyle amenities, and improved connectivity to the city.
The precinct benefits from thoughtful planning, green buffers, and proximity to established schools such as Anderson Primary School and CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School. These factors make landed homes in Lentor especially appealing to families who want long-term liveability without moving far from central Singapore.
Strong Market Data Supporting Landed Homes
Recent data highlights why developers and investors are paying closer attention to landed housing.
According to URA data, landed home prices rose 2.2% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2025, outperforming the 0.7% increase recorded in non-landed private homes during the same period.
| Property Segment | Q2 2025 Price Growth |
|---|---|
| Landed Homes | +2.2% |
| Non-Landed Homes | +0.7% |
At the same time, industry reports note that freehold and landed land tenders are becoming less frequent, with some attracting limited bidder interest. This tightening supply supports the case for boutique landed developments like Vila Natura.
Strategic Partnerships Behind Vila Natura
Aurum Gravis has partnered Redbrick Mortgage Advisory as both co-investor and mortgage advisory provider. This arrangement allows buyers to receive financing guidance alongside the purchase process.
The architectural design is led by Create Architecture, an award-winning design studio known for bespoke residential projects. The homes are planned with contemporary interiors, private gardens, and layouts designed for family living.
According to the project team, the goal is to balance modern design with the traditional appeal of landed homes, while maximising natural light and spatial flow.
Aurum Gravis and Its Growing Track Record
Founded in 2023, Aurum Gravis focuses on private real estate and alternative investments. Since inception, the firm has curated over S$70 million in project value across residential, commercial, and alternative-use assets in Singapore and select overseas markets.
Notable projects include 23 Aida Street, where a bungalow was redeveloped into two premium semi-detached homes, and Vila Naga, a freehold landed project in Bukit Timah’s District 11.
Vila Natura continues the firm’s focus on scarce, well-located freehold assets designed for long-term value.
Final Takeaway for Homebuyers and Investors
Vila Natura stands out not because it is large, but because it is rare. Freehold landed homes near an MRT station, within a growing residential enclave, are increasingly hard to find.
With landed prices outperforming the broader private market and supply remaining limited, projects like Vila Natura reflect a clear shift in buyer and investor priorities toward scarcity, stability, and long-term ownership.
