Encelia at Côta Vera

  • Chula Vista, California
  • Meta Housing

Tailored for togetherness, Encelia at Côta Vera brings affordable living, vibrant streetscapes, and everyday convenience to families in Otay Ranch’s newest Town Center.

Framing the neighborhood square at La Media Parkway and Main Street, three modern, elevator-served buildings form a connected residential community with thoughtfully integrated ground-floor retail. Comprised of spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes are supported by an array of amenities that encourage connection and relaxation—an elevated sky deck, sparkling pool, tot lot, dog park, BBQ court, lounges, and a community room. For families, the after-school arts and crafts room, game room, and computer center offer creative and educational opportunities close to home.

Approximately 10,000 square feet of commercial space, including a 3,500-square-foot restaurant across from the square, fosters walkability and activates the street edge—bringing energy and everyday essentials to the neighborhood.

Rooted in a contemporary agrarian-industrial style, Encelia’s architecture features expressive rooflines, articulated massing, and a palette of contrasting textures that blend utility with warmth. With a commitment to sustainability, the project is targeting Silver GreenPoint Rated certification—offering residents not just a place to live, but a place to grow and thrive for years to come.
