The underground parking of Mercat de Can Boada, in Terrassa, could partially reopen in one or two months after the fire.
The return will arrive before the year that was foreseen at the beginning, but it will depend on the cleaning, the electrical repairs, and the safety reports.
Partial reopening depends on cleaning the parking lot and repairing the facility
The residents of Can Boada met with the parking lot administrators to analyze the state of the facility after the fire.
The reopening will be progressive and will start with the squares furthest from the focus.
In a first phase, the space could recover around 80% occupancy, provided that the necessary works advance.
The Terrassa City Council will speed up building permits so as not to prolong the situation in the neighborhood.
The property's insurance company will advance about 200,000 euros to cover the general costs of the actions.
The coverage of the particular damages and the definitive structural appraisal remain pending.
The final access to the parking lot will be conditioned by the security reports from the experts.
Some users could return to using the parking lot within one or two months.
Experts point to an intentional fire with security images
Authorities and experts are working with clues that suggest the fire was intentional.
They have also dismissed initial rumors about an incident with an electric car.
The images recovered from the security cameras constitute the key evidence of the arson hypothesis.
The company managing the car park, Ecomsa Comunitats, declined to make statements or confirm the information provided.
The reopening will depend on the safety reports and the final structural expert report.
In parallel, new security measures will be determined and installed to prevent similar incidents.
Ecomsa Comunitats did not confirm the information about the partial return of service or the advance of 200,000 euros.
