For the third time in less than three months, a fresh wave of paperwork has hit the city desk for the massive high-rise towers known as The Green at 9 and 90. Between late April and mid-July, officials recorded 37 new construction permits for the property at 1610 Worcester Rd, signaling that the most aggressive renovation project in Framingham's recent history is far from over.
This latest cluster of filings confirms a coordinated infrastructure replacement that has already reshaped the South Framingham corridor. The sheer volume of activity suggests a comprehensive overhaul touching every major system within the 1966 complex, moving well beyond routine maintenance into a full-scale modernization effort.
The current batch adds to a record-breaking year for the site. Earlier this spring, developers filed 62 permits in just 83 days, an unprecedented pace that included a massive electrical system update across the complex's estimated 300,000-square-foot footprint. Those filings, detailed in reports from May 2026, set the stage for this continued surge. The new permits likely cover structural repairs, mechanical upgrades, and exterior renovations necessary to sustain a property housing over 1,000 units.
No other single address in the city has seen such concentrated municipal activity in decades. The continuous stream of approvals indicates that crews have moved past initial demolition and into sustained construction. With no pause in filings observed since April, residents should anticipate further submissions as the project tackles remaining systems within the high-rise towers.
The pattern suggests this modernization will extend well into the next fiscal year. City officials and neighbors alike must prepare for a prolonged period of construction noise and traffic as the developer works to upgrade one of the region's largest residential complexes.
