New Amsterdam Developers (NAD)

New Amsterdam Developers (NAD) is a company involved in real estate development in Barcelona, Spain, specifically focusing on creating 'coliving' spaces. They are currently newsworthy due to their attempt to evict Txema Escorsa, a resident of a building on Sant Agustí street in the Gràcia district. The planned eviction has sparked significant public and political opposition. The Barcelona City Council has demanded that NAD halt the eviction, and the regional president has intervened to protect the residents. The eviction, initially scheduled for March 25, 2026, was postponed due to safety concerns amidst large public protests. This case highlights the tension between development projects and the rights of long-term residents, drawing parallels to previous housing conflicts in Barcelona. The situation remains unresolved, with the eviction rescheduled for April 15, 2026, and continued pressure on NAD to reconsider their actions.
