Framingham Developments

[stick n move]

My parents live close by to that plaza so they have been following this project closely for years, and since I follow this stuff myself and drive by it pretty regularly I have as well.

In february it had a see through chain link fence surrounding the smaller old strip mall portion of the site, no activity going on, and hadnt changed since the plaza was demolished in june. Then in march the developer told the city council subcommittee that the project would begin in april. In march they put up the new fence which now extends out to the very edge of the site and has the construction company sign, safety signs..etc posted. Since then they have dug up the whole parking lot and are now lowering the grade of the site resulting in the massive dirt pile. There are multiple pieces of equipment on the site as well as construction materials staged.

Its definitely still possible that the activity so far is pre construction prep work and the official groundbreaking is yet to happen, theres still a week and a half left in april. Either way from march until now there has been a definite change on site and it appears the official groundbreaking has either already happened or is imminent.

Framingham Housing Authority receives $22M for renovations to 68-unit complex

“MassDevelopment issued a $22-million tax-exempt bond to help the Framingham Housing Authority to renovate Carlson Crossing West, a 68-unit affordable housing complex.

The project will also receive $19.7 million in federal low-income tax credits from the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development, with an assist from MassDevelopment, according to a Tuesday press release from MassDevelopment.

Carlson Crossing West was built in the 1950s on eight acres. Its 17 buildings consist of 12 one-bedroom apartments, 20 two-bedroom apartments, 32 three-bedroom apartments, and four four-bedroom apartments.

The proposed renovations will focus on building and energy code issues and other critical upgrades to infrastructure. Improvements will incorporate sustainable and other climate-resilient elements, according to the press release.”
