El Corazon (the Heart, in Spanish) is a City-owned parcel of 465 contiguous acres located in the center of Oceanside, bounded by Rancho del Oro Drive on the east, Oceanside Boulevard on the south, El Camino Real on the west, and Mesa Drive on the north. An ongoing planning process begun in 2003 will eventually develop the site to contain the following mixture of land uses: parks and recreation (212 acres), habitat (164 acres), civic services (34 acres), Oceanside Boulevard commercial (25 acres), village commercial (19 acres), and hotel (11 acres).

The City is pleased to announce that on August 31, 2011, the City Council approved the selection of Sudberry Properties/Soccer Field of Dreams as the developer for El Corazon, following unanimous support from the Economic Development Commission (EDC) and staff. Please see the EDC staff report and analysis on this topic, as well as a copy of the developer’s proposal. Sudberry Properties/Soccer Field of Dreams Proposal.
