A underground parking lot collapsed in an ex-Procrear complex in Parque Patricios, leading to preventive evacuation of residents and reviving complaints about structural failures. A judicial investigation for estrago was opened following the incident that occurred in the early morning. Affected neighbors expressed concern over prior infrastructure issues.
The collapse occurred in the early morning of March 3, 2026, in a building of the ex-Procrear complex located in Parque Patricios, Buenos Aires. According to reports, the underground parking lot's collapse prompted the preventive evacuation of several residents, with no injuries reported so far.
Lucas, one of the affected individuals, recounted that his car was in the parking lot when the incident happened. "We are adrift," he expressed in a raw testimony, highlighting the uncertainty the event has caused. Another neighbor noted that the building's infrastructure problems are not new, which has revived complaints about structural failures in the complex.
The collapse has led to a judicial investigation for the crime of estrago, according to official sources. Authorities are inspecting the site to assess the building's stability and determine the causes of the collapse. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about the construction and maintenance of Procrear program housing, though no further details on material damage beyond the parking lot have been reported.
