Brno, particularly this area, is experiencing significant development. New apartment complexes are being constructed, many of which cater to an upscale market. While they are not for the wealthiest residents of Brno, they are certainly positioned as higher-end housing. For example, one of the buildings, though visually unappealing, is actually quite expensive and reflects the area's transformation into a trendy, desirable neighbourhood.

This shift is also evident in the growing number of amenities and cultural spaces in the area. For instance, there are several new cafes, such as the Café Bruxelles nearby, and a repurposed distillery that now functions as both a café and an events venue. It has hosted diverse activities, including temporary showings for the Art Theatre while it was undergoing renovations.

Interestingly, the area has also become a hub for Brno's LGBTQ+ community, with many gay-friendly venues located here or nearby. This development adds to the cosmopolitan and mixed character of the neighbourhood.

This area is part of Staré Brno (Old Brno) and features the Czech Protestant Church, which holds historical significance as the first Czech Protestant Church in the city. In contrast, the nearby Red Church was a German Protestant Church. Protestantism has always been a minority religion in this predominantly Catholic country, which makes the establishment of this church noteworthy.

The church was built in the late 19th century and bears an inscription above its entrance reading My kážeme Krista ("We preach Christ"). This inscription is historically significant because it is said to be the first Czech-language sign on a public building in Brno. While Czech was used on shop signs, this marked the first time it appeared on any public institution, in a city where German influence dominated public buildings, churches, and other establishments at the time.
