A historic building near Moravské náměstí in Brno is being redeveloped into Rezidence Korngold, a project led by Brode Capital. The renovation of the structure, which dates from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, will create modern residential units and a retail space. The development is named after composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold, a Brno native who was born in the building in 1897. Located at the corner of Koliště and Lidická streets, the building is being comprehensively renovated to include 37 apartments ranging from studios to three-room units, with sizes between 27 and 98 square metres. Each apartment will feature air conditioning and a storage unit. The project also includes a commercial unit and three duplex apartments added in newly constructed upper floors, offering views of Brno’s historic centre. More than half of the units have already been sold. Erich Wolfgang Korngold, born in this building, was recognised early for his musical talent and later became a significant figure in film music in Hollywood, earning an Academy Award for his work. A commemorative plaque by sculptor Milivoj Husák marks the building at Koliště 1. The decision to name the development after Korngold was supported by his granddaughter as a way to preserve his legacy in Brno. Brode Capital, the developer behind the project, has experience with residential developments in Brno, including the award-winning Rezidence U Vaňkovky. Zdeněk Lust, a member of the board at Brode Capital, stated that the aim was to create a project that respects the building’s history while providing functional urban housing. The architectural design by Michal Kristen focuses on preserving original historical details while integrating modern technology and comfort. Construction is being carried out by JB Stavební, part of the Swietelsky group, with the total investment estimated in the low hundreds of millions of Czech crowns. Rezidence Korngold is situated in an area with convenient access to cultural venues, public amenities, and key urban infrastructure, including the Janáček Theatre and St. Thomas Church. Construction began in September 2024, with completion and occupancy scheduled for April 2026. The development will offer modern living in central Brno for individuals, couples, and families seeking quality housing in a location with historical significance.
