The elevator banks and electrical rooms at The Green at 9 and 90 are about to see even more activity. In just the last 90 days, the complex at 1610 Worcester Rd has generated 29 new construction permits, marking a relentless second wave of filings that shows no sign of slowing down.
This surge confirms a modernization campaign moving faster than most residential projects in Framingham. The current filing rate is 2.4 times higher than the municipal baseline for similar properties, signaling an aggressive timeline to upgrade the massive 402-unit high-rise before the year ends.
The new paperwork joins a rapidly expanding archive of work at the site. Earlier this summer, the project already generated 71 permits within a single 67-day window. That initial burst included comprehensive electrical system updates across the entire 300,000-square-foot footprint, transforming how power flows through the building's aging infrastructure.
The pace has only intensified since those early reports. A June analysis noted the project's rapid shift from demolition to active rebuilding. With this latest cluster of filings, the cumulative total now exceeds 160 distinct permits, dwarfing every other residential project in the city during this period.
This concentration of activity transforms the Worcester Road corridor into a zone of intense construction. No other address in Framingham has sustained such a high frequency of municipal filings over consecutive quarters. The data suggests a multi-million dollar infrastructure overhaul is proceeding at a speed that local planners likely did not anticipate, extending well beyond simple cosmetic repairs to core systems.
Residents should expect continued heavy traffic and construction noise as the project moves into its next phase. With no signs of a slowdown in recent weekly filings, city officials may soon need to schedule follow-up reviews regarding noise ordinances or road usage permits for the ongoing heavy equipment operations.
