Overview
- The collapse 11 days ago of a parking-garage slab at the Estación Buenos Aires complex buried dozens of cars and forced the evacuation of hundreds of people from roughly 175 homes.
- Residents staged a symbolic human hug around the buildings to demand accountability from Constructora Sudamericana and a clear timeline to go home, with plans to repeat the action on Saturdays.
- Constructora Sudamericana submitted a technical report to the Buenos Aires Guardia de Auxilio and the public prosecutor’s office outlining stabilization work completed and work still underway.
- Guardia de Auxilio will analyze the documentation and inspect the site, and if it verifies safety, the city will lift the closure and elevate the case file to the Fiscalía, which will decide on reentry.
- Lawyers representing owners, including Fernando Burlando’s firm, refiled civil claims, appointed engineering and accounting experts, and say the criminal investigation awaits a key Fire Brigade report.
