Galaxy Electrical Contractors has been hard at work since May, rewiring the massive footprint of the high-rise complex that dominates the Worcester Road corridor. Their activity is just one piece of a much larger puzzle: The Green at 9 and 90 has now surpassed 100 distinct building permits in a frantic overhaul that has transformed the site into the city's most active construction zone.
This isn't routine maintenance. The sheer volume of filings points to a coordinated, multi-million dollar infrastructure upgrade executed by the new ownership following the complex's record-breaking sale. Residents along the 1610 Worcester Road stretch should expect heavy traffic and noise to persist through the remainder of 2026 and likely well into 2027.
Data from municipal records reveals an aggressive timeline. A surge began in early 2026, with 71 permits issued in a 67-day window starting in February. Another 69 permits followed in the next 90 days. The latest batch, filed in June 2026, pushed the total count past the century mark for the 402-unit complex (note: web context notes 1,000+ units total for the broader community). The filings cover everything from structural repairs to comprehensive electrical system updates across the 300,000-square-foot property.
The intensity of this work is unmatched in recent city history. A previous analysis noted that 64 permits filed in just 84 days during the spring represented the largest infrastructure push in West Framingham for the year. While other developers have filed high volumes of permits across the city, no other single address matches the concentrated density of activity at this location.
This construction wave follows a major shift in ownership. In April 2022, The DSF Group sold the entire complex for $312 million, a record-breaking deal that brought new capital into the South Framingham market. The current filing pattern suggests the new owners are executing a phased capital improvement plan rather than addressing isolated maintenance issues. The work appears to fall under existing building codes, meaning no new public zoning hearings are scheduled, though the physical impact on the neighborhood is undeniable.
For now, the city building department has not indicated a slowdown. With over 100 permits already in the system, the overhaul at 1610 Worcester Road is set to continue reshaping the South Framingham skyline for the foreseeable future.
