Investigation Underway as Aurora Partial Building Collapse Injures 3
- On Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, a building on the 100 block of East Galena Boulevard in downtown Aurora partially collapsed, injuring three people and prompting an immediate evacuation.
- Jesse Kolar, Director of Building and Permits for the City of Aurora, stated the building's scaffolding and roof structure collapsed while no work was occurring and residential units were vacant.
- To protect the public, the Aurora Fire Department used targeted water operations to purposefully collapse remaining unstable sections, closing Route 25 between New York Street and Downer Place.
- All three injured individuals are expected to make a full recovery, while an investigation into the cause remains underway and Aurora resident Layza Ceballos said the downtown area feels 'a lot less safe.'
- Jon Zaghloul, Aurora director of communications, stated the city is coordinating with building owners to examine the structure, prioritizing area safety and reopening Galena Boulevard as soon as possible.
