The Moment — Phase One & Two
An old factory is not a full stop; it is where the city begins a new line.
From the Phase I street to the Phase II community, industrial memory is tuned into a new time zone you can walk into.
Phase II open · 2026.10.18
GROUP-OWNED INDUSTRIAL PARKA park wholly invested by Nine Dragon Ball
The Moment Cultural & Tourism Industrial Park is wholly invested by Nine Dragon Ball. Jiushengang Road was once known as Suzhou's 'grain and oil food street'. Time carried away the bustle and left three red-brick factory buildings. In 2024, The Moment completed a renewal here that did not erase memory: red brick, clocks and steel frames were kept, while new colour, planting and daylight moved in.
The project has a floor area of about 10,000 sqm, centred on three factory buildings. Around four threads — new industry offices, new consumption scenes, brand IP incubation and industry-chain clustering — it places 'old and new in collision, industrial energy storage, aesthetic space and cultural meaning' in one neighbourhood. It is not a park behind walls, but an urban fragment you can walk into.
On 18 October 2026, Phase II officially opened. The park has grown from a walkable youth street into a youth community for work, life and incubation; the red brick and clocks left by Phase I remain its entrance.
Phase I encloses a street-scale neighbourhood with three factory buildings: offices and R&D by day, coffee and concept stores in the afternoon, canteens, markets and classes at dusk. Industry and life share the same route.
'Co-creating the city's future
super dream factory」
The Moment works through 'co-creation': rather than filling space in one go, it lets industry, tenants, young people and the community use it together. XUNCHA's industry headquarters and city experience warehouse sit in Phase I, surrounded by food, fashion, pets, reading and event spaces.
XUNCHA's tea industry headquarters, city experience warehouse and creative, design and architecture teams line the street. Offices are no longer hidden behind walls; they share entrances, light and footfall with the neighbourhood.
'Food, drink, clothing, pets' grow along the street: tea, a meal, clothes, a dog walk — one route. First stores, founder-led shops and community canteens share the same walking scale.
Youth shops and founder brands become visible here. Starting from a shop, a market or a collaboration, they grow into brands with content, customers and repeat visits.
R&D, supply chain, store experience and event content interlock in the same park. Brands do not need to look far for resources; the next collaboration is around the corner.
Old and new · Industrial energy · Aesthetic space · Cultural meaning
Phase I brings in tea, food, fashion, pets, reading and more. These are a few places we keep returning to, and a few entrances into the park.
Starting from a cup of tea, it brings tea gardens, R&D and store experience into one space. It is both XUNCHA's industry headquarters and a city experience warehouse where you can sit down for a meal.
A 288 sqm food hall that folds industry, everyday life and culture together. Fast food, yoghurt, dumplings and global stalls solve a meal and keep a conversation.
Baking that pets can eat with confidence. It makes pet-friendliness more than a slogan: a sign at the door, a bag of treats at the counter.
Tenants and opening hours are subject to on-site notices.
An everyday set meal from the On the Hour Food Hall for new workers. A hot meal is the most concrete link between the park and the neighbourhood.
A reading space on the second floor of the XUNCHA flagship, seating 20–30 people, with hundreds of books, a projector, microphone and whiteboard. Monday–Friday 10:00–18:00, by appointment.
As a park wholly invested by Nine Dragon Ball, The Moment Phase II officially opened on 18 October 2026. Under the theme 'Crossing Time, Co-creating The Moment', Phase II takes the street experience of Phase I into a composite space of 'brand incubation + industrial ecosystem clustering'.
It no longer only 'rents space'; it 'grows brands': 1F brand showcases and the On the Hour Food Hall, 2F design station and creative studios, 3F brand headquarters incubation floor. A brand from 0 to 1 and from 1 to N can find its next room in the same building.
Brand headquarters incubation floor for growth-stage brands and head offices.
Design station · 17 office spaces · 80 desks.
XUNCHA's brand showcase store and the city's everyday life, open to the street.

Since Phase I, The Moment has made 'people and pets living together' infrastructure: pet rest stations, pet bakery, gardens and lanes for walks together. There is no tension of 'no pets allowed', only a route friendly to leads and water bowls.
Pets are not an amenity,
they are neighbours.
Pets are welcome on public streets; please check each shop's sign before entering.
The peacock 'Cangcang' is The Moment's hidden surprise. It patrols the streets from time to time, interacts with visitors, and has become a reason many people remember the park.
From a pet market to an encounter on the lawn. The camera records the park's most everyday friendliness.
Bring them along →From cross-strait tea culture to new-car previews, from themed markets to youth night school. The value of space is ultimately decided by what happens here.
Using tea as a medium, young people, tea people and traditional culture meet in the park.
Industrial space becomes the backdrop for brand storytelling. The light, scale and texture of the old factory offer another possibility for a new-car stand.
Markets, music, crafts and food keep weekend footfall by Yinshan Lake and help founders be seen by more people.

Youth shops such as Qiangdiao and Shanchai Bakery were incubated in Phase I, giving people who 'want to make something' a table first.

The clock wall, peacock Cangcang and pet-friendly spaces appear frequently on social media; the park has become an organic check-in spot by Yinshan Lake.

In 2025, The Moment Cultural & Tourism Industrial Park received the Special Gold Award in the 'City Renovation' category of the MUSE Design Awards (USA). What the jury saw was not only red brick and blue steel, but an urban renewal that does not demolish memory.
