Frequently Asked Questions
What is the development plan for Epoca?
Over the next 10-plus years,* Epoca will evolve to include 13 planned neighborhoods with approximately 2,100 homes. Of the total, approximately 70% will be apartments for lease and the other 30% for-sale homes which will be built by and offered in partnership with Guest Builders. Silo, a sister property adjacent to Epoca, participates in community events but is not included in the HOA or maintenance budgets.
What’s coming up in the next phase of construction at Epoca?
Epoca’s newest collection of for-sale townhomes, Vela by Lennar, is now selling with construction continuing until all Vela homes are completed. Construction of The Martinez Club is currently under way. The facility is expected to be open for use by mid 2027.*
Because Epoca is a growing community with a long term build out, construction will be ongoing in various locations within Epoca throughout the coming years. Please be aware that many adjacent parcels in the surrounding area have approved or proposed plans to develop, and construction activity may be heavy nearby as growth continues in South San Diego.

Is there future transit infrastructure planned for Epoca or the surrounding areas?
Yes! There is a long-term transit plan in and around Epoca determined by the City of San Diego and the Metropolitan Transit System. Please contact your local city planner for more information at: Shannon Mulderig, SLMulderig@sandiego.gov.
What parks are planned for Epoca in the future?
Two future public parks will be built at Epoca. One is Epoca Neighborhood Park, which is located north of our Willow neighborhood at Epoca Way and Secano Street. The other is Martinez Neighborhood Park—separate from The Martinez Club—which is located at Epoca’s southwest corner.
What is Pop-Up Plaza?
Pop-Up Plaza is an additional, temporary park created and funded by ColRich to serve as an activity hub and playground for residents to enjoy until the permanent Epoca parks open in the future. This space currently hosts food trucks, community wide gatherings and other special events. All Epoca homeowners and renters are welcome at the park on a first come, first served basis. Pop-Up Plaza cannot be reserved or rented for individual use. Dogs must be leashed at all times for everyone’s safety and residents are reminded to be respectful of others and please clean up after their pets.
When will The Martinez Club open?
The Martinez Club is a dynamic recreation center exclusively for Epoca HOA members (approx. 750 in total at build out). This club will include a resort-style swimming pool, jacuzzi, lounge chairs, shaded seating, community room, covered outdoor dining area with catering kitchen, and fitness facility.
Construction of The Martinez Club is currently under way and anticipated to be open for use by mid 2027,* once the homeowner community is large enough to support the facility’s operating expenses. The expenses for The Martinez Club are paid for by members of The Residences at Epoca Community Association. The budget and expenses are set by the Department of Real Estate and timing is tied to the early phases of closings in the next residential community.

What are the future plans for retail at Epoca?

The commercial spaces would be built with the final phase of Epoca, which is currently anticipated for early 2030s*.

Who is developing Epoca?
San Diego-based ColRich is the developer of the Epoca master-planned community and is also building all the for-rent homes at Epoca. ColRich partners with Guest Builders to construct Epoca’s for-sale homes.
Why do Epoca homeowners receive two invoices for two different HOAs every month?
There are Master and Sub-Homeowner Associations with distinct charters, costs and responsibilities.
First, your Neighborhood Sub-Association oversees and funds the landscaping, site lighting and the general maintenance within each individual neighborhood (Willow, Reed, Vela and future neighborhoods).
The second Association is The Residences at Epoca Community Association whose purpose is to maintain the common area improvements within the Epoca community (private roads, detention basins, storm drains, etc.) and maintain the homeowner-exclusive The Martinez Club.
Any shared improvements within Epoca are part of a cost-sharing agreement with Epoca’s rental neighborhoods, where both renters and homeowners pay their “fair share” to maintain the community.
Your Master Homeowner Association is managed by Seabreeze Management, which issues your Master HOA invoice and serves as your go-to for questions and Epoca community requests. Sub-Homeowner Associations issue your neighborhood-specific invoice and can help with questions related to your individual neighborhood.
