Sixty-five separate building permits have hit the city docket for The Green at 9 and 90, transforming the quiet rhythm of South Framingham's Worcester Road corridor into a construction zone.
This isn't a series of isolated repairs; the sheer volume of paperwork indicates a synchronized, multi-million dollar modernization of the massive 402-unit complex built in 1974. Residents living in units ranging from 436 to 860 square feet should expect significant changes to their building's infrastructure starting immediately.
The filing pattern tells a clear story of systematic renovation. Over a 90-day window, 57 permits appeared on the docket, followed by a concentrated burst of 12 electrical permits filed in just three days. These electrical filings are the first domino, signaling a critical upgrade to the complex's aging power grid before broader interior or exterior work begins. By early May, the total count climbed to 65, confirming the project is moving at a pace of roughly one new permit every 36 hours.
Located at 1610 Worcester Rd, Framingham, MA 01702, the property was sold in 2022, and this wave of activity aligns with the new ownership's push to address decades of deferred maintenance. The focus on electrical systems is a necessary precursor to any cosmetic updates, given the building's age. Once the power grid is stabilized, the next wave of filings will likely detail unit-specific renovations or facade improvements.
Neighbors should anticipate increased construction traffic and potential utility interruptions as the project moves from infrastructure to visible renovation.
