Oppidan and Harrison Street break ground on senior living community in Oceanside, Calif.

OCEANSIDE, Aug. 9, 2021 – Oppidan, a property development firm, and Harrison Street have plans to develop The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey, a luxury senior living community in Oceanside, Calif. Watermark Retirement Communities will operate the senior living community once complete.

The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey marks the second senior living community for Oppidan and Watermark, which previously developed and recently completed The Watermark at Napa Valley in California. Oppidan also has developed six Pillars Senior Living Communities throughout Minnesota.

The new 256,000-square-foot senior living community will offer 213 apartments with independent living, assisted living and memory care options. The community will begin accepting residents in second half 2023. As part of Oppidan and Harrison Street’s partnership with Mission San Luis Rey, Friars will have the opportunity to reside at The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey, allowing them to stay connected to the community they serve.

Unique to this senior living community is its connection to the Mission San Luis Rey. Known as the “King of the Missions,” Mission San Luis Rey de Francia is the largest of the California Missions and was first settled by Native Americans and Franciscan Friars 223 years ago. The Mission was founded by the Franciscan Friars and was built with the help of the Luiseño people.

The Hacienda Mission San Luis Rey will include various options of indoor and outdoor spaces, dining, arts and cultural spaces, and health and wellness programs, such as several outdoor fitness stations surrounding the property.

The project will break ground Aug. 11.
