Casa Orsola

Casa Orsola is a building located on Sant Agustí street, number 14, in the Vila de Gràcia neighborhood of Barcelona. It gained notoriety in 2024 due to tenant eviction disputes and plans to convert the building into a coliving space by New Amsterdam Developers (NAD), a Dutch investment fund. The current news focuses on a similar situation involving Txema Escorsa, a tenant facing eviction from the same building. The planned eviction has sparked protests and opposition from local residents and housing collectives. The Barcelona City Council has intervened, urging NAD to halt the eviction. The case highlights concerns about rising housing costs, displacement of residents, and the impact of investment funds on local communities in Barcelona.
