One Thousand Museum

One Thousand Museum's 84 luxury residences range in price from $5 million to upwards of $25 million.

Miami's eye-catching "exoskeleton" skyscraper is finally complete after seven years and almost $300 million in construction costs, Candace Taylor reported for The Wall Street Journal.

The 62-story building is one of the last designed by legendary Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, who was nicknamed "Queen of the Curve" before her death in 2016. It has a distinctive "exoskeleton" exterior that's made up of more than 4,800 pieces of glass-fiber-reinforced concrete shipped from Dubai.

The tower, called One Thousand Museum, includes 84 luxury residences, about 64% of which have already been sold since sales started in 2013, according to the developer. The rest are selling for $5 million for a half-floor residence to upwards of $25 million for a full floor. Residents have access to lavish amenities including a private rooftop helipad, a sky lounge, a double-height aquatic center with an indoor swimming pool, a juice bar, and a beauty salon.

"We wanted it to function like a five-star hotel," one of the developers, Louis Birdman, told the Journal.

Sales and marketing are being handled by ONE Sotheby's International Realty.
