As of May 2022, all four storefronts are currently leased however we are happy to take your inquiry and have a conversation about potential future openings at MOMENT DTSJ.
Each MOMENT storefront has a unique size and shape to it.
Unit 10
- Size: 347 sq. ft.
- Current Monthly Rent Rate: $1,388
Unit 20
- Size: 310 sq. ft.
- Current Monthly Rent Rate: $1,240
Unit 30
- Size: 284 sq. ft.
- Current Monthly Rent Rate: $1,138
Unit 40
- Size: 277 sq. ft.
- Current Monthly Rent Rate: $1,108
Additional Info
- The above Monthly Rent Rates are subject to change in the future though it should be noted we have never raised rent since the opening of MOMENT DTSJ in May 2018.
- SJMADE provides wifi and covers the cost of recycling.
- The monthly electricity bill is split amongst the active tenants.
- There is no access to running water in the spaces themselves.
- There are on-site restrooms and sinks.
- The maximum duration of stay is two (2) years. Our goal is to use this opportunity to help as many different small businesses as possible. Given that there are only four (4) spaces, we believe it's only fair that each store's stay is limited.
- SJMADE and its project partners can help tenants find a new storefront space at the conclusion of their lease.

About MOMENT DTSJ
Opening on May 18, 2018, 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. Located at 60 N. San Pedro Street, San José, CA 95113.
Powered by San Jose Madé, MOMENT DTSJ 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.
MOMENT DTSJ 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 DTSJ is part of SPSQUARED, a SJDA initiative designed to activate, elevate and celebrate San Pedro Street within San Pedro Square.

Why the name MOMENT?
We at San José Made really found the name MOMENT to perfectly suit our vision for the ethos and ambition of these four retail spaces, as "MOMENT" in one simple incisive utterance connotes and encapsulates so many different things we're trying to achieve here.
For the amazing creative tenants who'll reside in MOMENT, we believe MOMENT could represent one of the biggest landmarks of growth in your business and brand's story. This is what you have been working on for so long, and now here's this ample and wildly visible space to express not only your work, not only your brand but the best and boldest version of yourself.
For San José Made, we love how "MOMENT" represents our unwavering belief in ephemeral retail activations, where speed, urgency and immediacy coalesce with creativity and commerce to produce a destination demanding to be experienced.
For the city and people for whom we do all this, "MOMENT" conveys this vast and pervasive feeling that we, as a city and as a people, are facing significant questions, challenges, and most importantly opportunities—all moments if you will—that'll end up defining the city's narrative over the next several decades. This is San José's all-important moment where we must meaningfully, collectively and creatively answer the question: "What is San José?"

MOMENT DTSJ would not be possible without the vision and work of San Jose Downtown Association and the incredible support of The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
