For the third time in a single quarter, a wave of construction notices has hit the massive apartment complex at 1610 Worcester Rd, signaling that the overhaul of this 1,000-unit community is far from over.
The Green at 9 and 90 has filed 38 new municipal permits in just 90 days, a pace that far outstrips the city average and confirms a coordinated, multi-year effort to upgrade the aging infrastructure of South Framingham's largest residential site.
This latest cluster of filings targets the building's core systems rather than cosmetic updates. The permits follow a pattern established earlier this year, where 62 filings occurred over an 83-day window, and a subsequent 71 permits were logged in just 67 days. Cumulatively, the complex has now seen well over 120 filings in the last year alone, suggesting a deep modernization of electrical, plumbing, and structural elements within the 1966-era high-rises.
The scale of this investment is unprecedented for the property. After selling for a record-breaking $312 million in April 2022, the new ownership has accelerated a transformation that previous owners had delayed. A specific focus on electrical systems is evident; recent data shows 42 electrical permits filed in the 01702 zip code, with the vast majority concentrated at this single address.
Residents and neighbors along the Worcester Road corridor should anticipate continued noise and traffic disruptions as crews move through the summer. With no indication of a pause in the filing cadence, the site remains a hub of intense activity, turning what was once a quiet suburban stretch into a year-long construction zone.
