Project Description
In 2016, the North County Transit District (NCTD) Board of Directors adopted a policy that would pursue development of some of its real estate holdings, including the Oceanside Transit Center (OTC), with a goal of reducing automobile reliance, increasing transit ridership, and creating jobs and affordable housing. The NCTD Board selected Toll Brothers Apartment Living through a competitive proposal process to develop and implement the vision for this important regional transit hub.
The redevelopment of OTC is an opportunity to create a welcoming and engaging community gathering place, with a mix of shops and dining options that fit the community character. The new OTC is aimed at supporting local, regional and statewide goals for reducing Californians’ reliance on single-occupancy vehicles by improving public transit offerings.
Project Features
The revitalized OTC is envisioned as a vibrant, mixed-use hub for visitors and long-time locals. The Project will mix lifestyle elements with a modernized and efficient transit center, including bus and train connections and improved bicycle and pedestrian circulation.
Additionally, the NCTD Headquarters will be relocated from their current location at 810 Mission Avenue to the new OTC at 235 S. Tremont. As a result, the Mission site will also be redeveloped to create additional mixed-income housing opportunities.

Site 1 (Tremont)
