Second evacuation at Parque Patricios tower after window shatters

A tower in the Buenos Aires Parque Patricios complex, site of a parking collapse on March 3, was evacuated again after a window exploded. Neighbors reported wall cracks and lifted tiles amid fears of further structural damage, with some residents left without power.

On March 24, 2026, a window shattered in one of the towers at the Parque Patricios ex-Procrear complex, which suffered an underground parking collapse three weeks earlier. The incident triggered an immediate evacuation—the second since the initial event—due to safety concerns.

Residents and neighbors noted wall cracks and lifted ceramic tiles, signaling possible ongoing structural instability. Several households lost electricity in the aftermath. Authorities quickly secured the site, prioritizing resident safety.

The complex has faced scrutiny since the March 3 collapse, which prompted a judicial probe into potential estrago and revived complaints about infrastructure. Local media, including TN with on-site footage, captured the renewed alarm in the community.
