Côta, meaning share and dimension, with Vera,
meaning real, true and genuine. Two words and
a definition derived from different European languages, but combined, define the program and character for
the Côta Vera Community and Central Square Park.
Côta Vera Central Square Park incorporates a contemporary European culture to create the spirit for community’s vision.
The use of playful art, vibrant colors, unorthodox amenities, and innovative lighting techniques will bring life and interest to spaces from morning through early evening.
The first design goal is “deviation”. To discover ways to accommodate the traditional community park program
for venues, amenities and active sport areas, with innovative and fresh solutions. Play is an activity, but also a feeling.
Whimsical, innovative, playful design is what will make Côta Vera Central Square Park unique. Moving the sense of wonder across the day and into the night and
turning public art into play, creates
the transition into imagination.
LIFE INSPIRED
Côta Vera’s style is inspired by European Villages and beyond.
Residential elevations make references to Danish Modern, Scandinavian Farmhouse and Modern Valencia, for example. The idea among neighborhoods and with the major amenities is to create a “new village’ character based on both contemporary and more charming elements.
European References with a Contemporary Twist
Health, Wellness, and Community Connection
Here at Côta Vera, we believe that investing in your mind and body will significantly improve your quality of life. The San Diego climate, combined with the constraints of COVID-19 have created an even stronger desire to enjoy the great outdoors, benefit from daily exercise, experience mind/body health and commune with neighbors and family.
Côta Vera provides an ideal environment for that kind of lifestyle.
Côta Vera Themes
At Côta Vera, when the sun goes down, village life continues to sparkle.
Whether it's drinks in the Central District, evenings at the Neighborhood Park or night time hours at the Neighborhood Pool or nearby stores, there’s always things to do – including occasional events, concerts, and movies after dark.
From Morning ‘til Night
Creativeness & Culture
Our final theme ties all things together with whimsical and inventive qualities. An artful approach to landscape, outdoor furnishings and play equipment create a stimulating environment for walking, playing, and relaxation. An art walk in the Town Square Park allows for opportunities for young artists to showcase their work, and public art in the form of sculptural elements and murals will add further to the scenic interest of Côta Vera.
