Dornych will come alive again
The Dornych area is a pivotal transport and commercial hub of Brno, drawing tens of thousands of people daily. Within its immediate vicinity lie the city’s main train and bus stations, as well as key public transit connections.
The new Dornych, set to replace the deteriorated Prior department store, is envisioned as a dynamic blend of office spaces, residences, a hotel, services, and top-tier retail and dining. A new pedestrian-friendly public space will connect Brno’s city center with the emerging Southern District.
Completion and grand opening of the project are slated for 2027/2028.
Explore the transformation
The new Dornych will replace the current huge, deteriorating building. The existing asphalt parking lot will be replaced by an underground one, and the dreary surrounding environment will be partially replaced by a partially covered, open public space.
In the evening, the project will come to life with restaurants, bars, bistros, and cafes. Connection to the street network and an underpass under the train station will link the area to the historic city centre and the planned Southern Quarter.
Project concept
Welcome to the new social hub of Brno. Dornych’s centre piece is formed by a vibrant plaza pulsating with life and fresh energy. A place where you can sit down to have lunch with your colleagues, hang out with your friends, window shop or simple pass the time. Dornych is there to entertain you, at all times.
Curated public space
Dornych’s signature feature is without a doubt the striking semi-open roof inspired by Brno’s neo-gothic architecture. Impressive in design and highly functional, it represents a unique take on all year round shopping. Dornych’s three shopping floors contain everything you could possibly need or desire. You can browse the shops for hours whilst enjoying the special and dynamic atmosphere the semi-open roof creates as the seasons pass by.

Thanks to its architectural concept and the use of technologies such as heat pumps, photovoltaics, and rainwater collection, energy consumption will be reduced by up to 40% compared to similar multifunctional buildings.The backbone of the entire project will be a semi-covered shopping arcade, rather than a conventional enclosed shopping center, eliminating the need for heating in winter and cooling in summer. During demolition, 90% of the materials will be recycled and repurposed elsewhere.
