In late July 2026, Buenos Aires officials reclaimed a former ice‑factory in the Nueva Pompeya neighbourhood, marking the 900th property restored since the city began a systematic eviction programme in December 2023. The operation, overseen by Mayor Jorge Macri and Security Minister Horacio Giménez, involved police, firefighters, and emergency services to recover the Megapar-owned property, which had been occupied for approximately 40 years. A week later, the campaign expanded to other regions. In Mendoza, provincial security forces evicted eight adults and three children from a privately owned lot, allowing the owner to resume demolition and construction. In Buenos Aires’ Floresta district, police removed occupants from a house that had housed a clandestine textile workshop for four years. These actions brought the city’s restitution tally to 901 properties. By late August 2026, reports indicated that the policy of zero tolerance toward squatting has returned assets valued restitution tally rose to 937 properties. A significant operation occurred in the Núñez neighbourhood, where authorities executed a judicial order to evict more than 100 people from an eight-story building at over $450 million Manuela Pedraza 1875. The building had been illegally occupied for 30 years and was reported to private owners, with high concentrations of operations be in Balvanera poor structural condition, lacking electricity and La Boca. This initiative coincides gas, and serving as a focal point for insecurity due to intentional fires and accumulated waste. Following the eviction, the site was cleaned and boarded up. These enforcement actions coincide with broader shifts in the Buenos Aires real estate market, where rental costs increased by nearly 35% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the previous year. Both the evictions and market trends reflect a period of significant legal and economic adjustment in the city.
