The quiet stretch of Worcester Road near the Route 9 interchange is no longer quiet. In a burst of activity that has rattled local baselines, 42 municipal permits have been filed for The Green at 9 and 90 in the last 90 days alone.
This surge marks a decisive shift from planning to heavy construction for the massive residential complex. For neighbors living near 1610 Worcester Rd, it means a concentrated period of noise, truck traffic, and utility work as developers race to overhaul the aging infrastructure before year-end.
The filings represent an aggressive timeline for what is effectively a complete modernization of the site. The project covers a 300,000-square-foot footprint and involves structural alterations necessary for the high-rise configuration. Rather than stretching repairs over years, the developers are tackling major electrical updates, plumbing systems, and facade work in a single, intensive window.
This pace is unusual for Framingham. Historical data shows this address typically sees a fraction of this volume annually. The current cluster follows a pattern established earlier this year: 62 permits were filed by late April, followed by 53 more by May. Now, the mid-summer filings confirm that demolition has given way to active rebuilding.
Residents in South Framingham should expect increased heavy vehicle movement along Worcester Road as crews work through interior units and exterior finishes. The city anticipates additional filings to close out final electrical and plumbing inspections before occupancy certificates are issued later this year, completing the most significant modernization phase the complex has seen.
