Just 15 days separated the demolition filing and the first construction permit at the corner of Route 9 and I-90, signaling a breakneck shift for the 402-unit complex known as The Green at 9 and 90.
This blistering pace transforms a South Framingham landmark built in 1974 into a massive construction zone, as developers push forward with a modernization plan that has already generated over 120 permits in a single quarter.
The timeline reveals an unusually tight coordination between phases. A demolition permit was filed on June 9, 2026, clearing the way for immediate rebuilding. By June 24, only two weeks later, a new batch of 40 permits arrived, officially moving the site into the construction phase. These filings are part of a larger surge that has tripled the site's normal building pace. The initial filings focused heavily on critical electrical upgrades, setting the foundation for a comprehensive overhaul of the aging high-rise towers.
Subsequent reports confirm that the work extends far beyond utility systems. The sheer volume of documentation points to a coordinated, multi-year rebuild rather than routine maintenance. For residents and neighbors in South Framingham, this activity signals a fundamental change to the streetscape on Worcester Road. The 1974-era structures are being systematically replaced, a process that will likely generate significant traffic and noise as crews work through the remaining 2026 construction season.
Observers should watch for upcoming zoning board hearings or environmental filings as the project moves from initial infrastructure work to structural reconstruction. With the demolition phase complete, the focus now shifts to the physical rebuilding of the complex's core units at 1610 Worcester Rd (01702).
