One Thousand Museum, the Zaha Hadid Architects-designed tower in Downtown Miami, recorded another high-end resale when a full-floor sky mansion traded for $21.925 million. The residence occupies the entire 55th floor of the 62-story condominium at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard and spans about 9,200 square feet, making it one of the building’s largest private homes.
The sale adds another notable transaction to the ledger for One Thousand Museum, which has remained one of Miami’s most closely watched ultra-luxury condo towers since it opened in 2019. The building’s sculptural exoskeleton and limited number of residences have helped it hold a distinct position in the downtown luxury market, where trophy condos continue to draw buyers seeking large-format homes with bay and skyline views.
ONE Sotheby’s International Realty represented both sides of the deal, with Saddy Abaunza Delgado and Valeria Kelly representing the seller and Lianne Graubart representing the buyer, according to the report. The buyer was referred through the brokerage, with Shauna Walters and Nicole Plaxen helping connect the team with the client.
Inside the $21.925 Million Transaction
The apartment closed as a five-bedroom full-floor penthouse at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard #5501, with sweeping views over Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. The residence includes tall ceilings, 10-foot doors and recent upgrades such as a fully enclosed second kitchen and integrated Crestron and Lutron automation systems.
Four parking spaces were included in the sale, a meaningful amenity in a building where space and privacy are major selling points. For buyers in Miami’s ultra-luxury segment, full-floor layouts remain among the most sought-after product types because they combine scale, exclusivity and fewer shared walls than typical condominium units.

Architectural Landmark on Biscayne Boulevard
One Thousand Museum is widely recognized as one of Miami’s best-known modern residential towers. Designed by the late Zaha Hadid, it was her first residential skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere and is defined by the building’s densified external exoskeleton, a structural and visual feature that remains central to its identity.
The tower was developed by One Thousand Group, led by Louis Birdman and Kevin Venger, along with partners Gilberto Bomeny, Gregg Covin and Todd Michael Glaser, according to prior reporting and project materials. The building officially debuted in August 2019 and quickly became a benchmark for ultra-luxury condominium sales in Downtown Miami.

A Limited-Inventory Tower With a High-Profile Resident Base
At just 84 residences, One Thousand Museum sits in a different category from the larger condominium towers that dominate much of Miami’s skyline. The building’s smaller inventory and custom-scale homes have helped attract buyers looking for privacy, service and a quieter residential environment in the urban core.
Public record and prior reporting have linked a roster of well-known owners and residents to the tower over the years, including David and Victoria Beckham, Ken Griffin, David and Isabela Grutman, Marc Anthony, Loren Ridinger and Sela Ann Ward. The project has also seen a steady stream of notable resales and listings since opening, reinforcing its position as one of downtown Miami’s most closely tracked luxury addresses.
The building’s amenity package includes a private rooftop helipad, a Sky Lounge for dining and events, a wellness center, spa facilities, an aquatic center with an indoor lap pool on the 61st floor and access to a house car service. One Thousand Museum also markets itself as the first residential building in the world to partner with Forbes Travel Guide to shape a hospitality-oriented resident experience.
Why the Sale Matters for Downtown Miami
Transactions at One Thousand Museum remain a useful read on the high end of the Miami market because the tower is both limited in supply and highly recognizable. Sales activity there can offer a snapshot of demand for large, designer-branded condominiums in the urban core, especially at a time when Downtown Miami continues to compete with Brickell, Miami Beach and Edgewater for affluent buyers.
The $21.925 million closing also underscores how far the top of the Downtown Miami market has come since the building’s debut. Full-floor residences at One Thousand Museum have historically commanded premium pricing because of their size, views and scarcity, and this latest trade fits that pattern.
While the broader luxury condo market in South Florida has benefited from sustained interest in waterfront and skyline-view product, individual trophy sales at buildings like One Thousand Museum remain highly specific to unit size, condition, floor level and the buyer’s appetite for a particular building’s design pedigree.
Past Sales Activity at One Thousand Museum
The tower has produced a number of headline-grabbing transactions over the years. Previous sales and listings have included residences tied to high-profile entertainers and business figures, alongside a series of penthouse and half-floor deals that helped establish the building’s reputation as one of Miami’s priciest condo addresses.
That history gives context to the latest closing: even after opening several years ago, One Thousand Museum continues to generate large sales in a market where new ultra-luxury product is increasingly common. The building’s combination of architectural recognition, limited inventory and full-service amenities continues to set it apart from newer entrants in Downtown Miami.
