About Oceanside's Camp Pendleton

Sometimes I just don’t understand it! How is it that some people are able to stay in this business with practices that could be considered suspect at best? I have an investor client who is looking to purchase a few properties in a specific development in Oceanside, CA. It’s a great neighborhood that generates substantial cash flow as well as long-term appreciation potential. There has been a great deal of sales activity in the past 6 months within this development, but currently the listings are slim. One of the listings seems like a perfect opportunity for an investor like my client. I tend to contact the LA prior to previewing a property to confirm that the showing instructions are still current (we all know that mls info isn’t always updated appropriately). It has been two days and I still have received no response from the LA. It has been on the market for 165 days so it would stand to reason that the LA would be eager to have this property shown to a serious potential buyer. It just all begs the question….how do you expect to sell a house if you won’t even return a simple phone call?

Camp Pendleton is celebrating the announcement of a new hospital which will be breaking ground the early part of 2011, the hospital is going to be located 10 miles from the front gate of Camp Pendleton--off Harbor. This facility will treat troops and military retirees at Camp Pendleton, adding to a building boom transforming the base into one of the most modern in the U.S. Marine Corps.

This newest facility will be multi-story and be approximately 511,100 SF, This will be the newest medical facility to be build on Camp Pendleton in 35 years. Approximately 64 beds are expected to be part of this 511,100 SF facility.

The current hospital, which overlooks Lake O'Neill, may be converted to an office building provided it meets the state earthquake requirements for that use.

Most of the people seen now at the hospital, both active-duty troops and military retirees, are treated on an outpatient basis. Those requiring more extensive care or long stays are treated at military facilities in San Diego.

The completion date is speculated to be the end of 2012 2014-over 1000 workers are expected to be part of the project. This work force is definitely a much needed boost to our local economy.
