Renoma

Renoma is an architecturally distinguished heritage retail and commercial asset in central Wrocław, originally opened on April 2, 1930 as the Wertheim department store designed by Professor Herman Dernburg following his 1928 win in the architectural competition. The building reopened after the 2005-2009 restoration and extension programme that paired heritage conservation with contemporary retail capacity, integrating the seven-storey original Wertheim structure with a new wing across the southern edge of the Wrocław central retail axis on Świdnicka Street. The property is owned by Globalworth Poland Real Estate N.V.

The format combines fashion-led volume across the retail floors with the TK Maxx and HalfPrice off-price anchors, the Reserved and Inditex group flagship presence including Zara and Massimo Dutti, and the contemporary fashion register featuring Smyk among the principal active tenants. The dining offer includes SO! COFFEE, Hana Sushi, Salad Story, Frankies, and the Miód Malina restaurant alongside the Multikino entertainment positioning that the Renoma management has calibrated against the broader Wrocław central retail demand.

The architectural identity centres on the original Wertheim facade designed in 1928 by Herman Dernburg in the late Art Deco style typical of the inter-war German department store programme, with the horizontal seven-storey elevation distinguished by ceramic cornices, the rounded corners facing Świdnicka Street, and the decorative human head sculptures executed by Ulrich Nitschke and Hans Klakow that remain among the recognisable heritage details in Polish retail architecture. The 2005-2009 restoration preserved the original internal courtyard structure and the gilded facade elements while adding the contemporary extension wing integrated through carefully calibrated material continuity.

The catchment combines the dense central Wrocław residential and student demographic across the Stare Miasto and Krzyki districts with the metro daytime workforce and the broader Wrocław agglomeration of approximately 1.25 million regional residents. The Świdnicka Street pedestrian axis connects the property directly to Wrocław’s Rynek and to Galeria Dominikańska and Wroclavia positioned approximately 600 metres north and one kilometre east respectively, with tram routes 0L, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 17 serving the immediate Renoma stop alongside underground parking. Renoma’s commercial role is the principal heritage retail asset in central Wrocław and a showcase for heritage-led retail redevelopment in Polish commercial real estate, operating one register above the conventional Polish A-class super-regional pattern.
