History

Opening on May 18, 2018, MOMENT San Pedro Square (originally called “MOMENT DTSJ”) is a set of four dynamic micro-retail spaces designed and programmed to advance, grow and celebrate creative retail in downtown San José.

MOMENT San Pedro Square arose from a Knight Cities Challenge grant awarded in 2015 to San Jose Downtown Association (SJDA), who envisioned the amazing things possible in converting twelve parking spaces on the sidewalk level of the San Pedro Market Parking Garage into four dynamic micro-retail spaces along with a sidewalk patio to add public space to our rapidly growing urban core. MOMENT San Pedro Square is part of SPSQUARED, a SJDA initiative designed to activate, elevate and celebrate San Pedro Street within San Pedro Square.

Powered by San José Made (SJMADE), MOMENT San Pedro Square embodies the urgency, immediacy and verve of today’s new retail and creative culture, featuring makers, creatives, artists and emerging brands for varying short-to-mid-length durations.

Located in downtown San Jose within the ever-popular San Pedro Square neighborhood, MOMENT DTSJ is perfectly positioned to elevate these already-amazing businesses, brands and talent to newer and greater levels of visibility at a time when San José itself is rising to newer and greater levels of visibility.
