WILLEMSTAD – Tensions are rising in Jan Thiel as residents express growing concern over large-scale demolition works taking place for a luxury construction project. Despite previously submitted objections, significant portions of a hillside rich in natural vegetation—including mango and hibiscus trees—have already been cleared.
According to earlier reports, the local community feels ignored by the government and is demanding that their concerns be taken seriously. Meanwhile, a real estate company is already promoting the sale of apartments under the name KIWA Luxury Sky Condos.
The project has sparked questions about transparency, the approval process, and respect for the environment and quality of life of current residents. Locals are calling for more public accountability and stricter regulations on large-scale developments that threaten Curaçao’s natural landscape and community integrity.
