Squatted building on the Catharijnesingel in Utrecht

Squatted building on the Catharijnesingel in Utrecht

The property is said to belong to Blackstone, an American investor, which owns houses in the Netherlands. According to the squatters, the company deliberately leaves houses, such as on the Catharijnesingel, empty for a long time so that they can then be sold at a high profit. In these times of housing shortage, according to the squatters, this is no longer justifiable and that is why they occupy the building to draw attention to it.
