(Oct. 27, 2026) – Littleton Special Town Meeting approved the use of Community Preservation Funds to support the creation of affordable senior housing at 410 Great Road this week, marking another step forward for the King Street Common Development.
A developer plans to redevelop 410 Great Road, where a mill building now stands, as part of the larger King Street Common development, which also includes 550 King Street, the site of the old IBM building, across the street. These locations are near Littleton Common and Interstate 495.
A developer broke ground on the King Street Common project in May 2025, before a crowd of local, state and federal officials.
This project proposes a major multi-phase transformation of the former IBM campus, where a mixed-use development is planned – including new housing units, a hotel, light industrial uses and open space with pedestrian connections (Town of Littleton Website).
In January, the Littleton Electric Light & Water Department announced a milestone: the new Littleton Common Sewer System is fully operational. Construction of the $45 million project began in Spring 2023 and was completed in Fall 2025.
This project was awarded $11 million in state MassWorks grants and $2 million in federal funds. It builds capacity to serve 58 commercial business properties, including town buildings, and 50 residential properties. 550 King Street will be the largest user.
Both King Street Common projects have been before the Littleton Planning Board this year, according to the town website.
Earlier this month, State Rep. James Arciero and State Sen. Jamie Eldridge announced the Town of Littleton had been awarded $9.8 million in funding through the state’s One Stop for Growth programs to support the development. This includes $5 million in funding through the MBTA Community Catalyst Fund to support the construction of roadway, sidewalks and other infrastructure during the first three project phases. An additional $4.8 million will fund pedestrian and bicycle improvements in the area.
