One Thousand Museum is a 62-story ultra-luxury condominium tower at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami's Park West neighborhood. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, it stands as her only completed residential skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere and her final major project before her death in 2016. The building's dramatic exoskeleton structure—nicknamed "The Scorpion Tower"—has become an iconic fixture of the Miami skyline.
One Thousand Museum is the only residential building in the world to hold a Forbes Travel Guide five-star rating for its services and lifestyle, placing it in the same category as the world's finest hotels.

It is the only residential tower designed by Pritzker laureate Zaha Hadid in the Western Hemisphere, completed posthumously after Hadid's passing in 2016. The building's exoskeleton concrete structure and curvilinear silhouette have become a defining element of the modern Miami skyline.
One Thousand Museum is one of very few residential buildings in the United States with a private FAA-approved rooftop helipad. Owners can move directly between the residence and Miami's regional airports, a meaningful differentiator for owners who travel by private aviation.
Only 83 residences across 62 stories produce one of Miami's lowest residence-per-floor ratios. Most floors contain a single residence, with several penthouses occupying multiple floors. The result is privacy and elevator-direct access typical of the world's most exclusive trophy buildings.

Residents await arrivals in a dedicated heli-lounge at the Aquatic Center level with closed-circuit monitoring.
The double-height Aquatic Center occupies the building's crown with an indoor infinity-edge lap pool and 30-foot ceilings. The adjacent Sky Lounge offers event space with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Miami skyline—ideal for private gatherings and entertaining.
The two-level wellness center includes a state-of-the-art fitness center with strength and cardio equipment, dedicated movement training and yoga areas, outdoor fitness terrace, full-service spa with private treatment rooms, steam room, sauna, plunge pools, and relaxation lounge.

The dramatic porte cochère entrance provides privacy and a grand sense of arrival befitting the building's prestige.
One Thousand Museum represents the culmination of Zaha Hadid's architectural vision. The building's defining feature is its continuous exoskeleton—a structural system of curved concrete columns that runs from the ground floor to the 15th floor before transitioning to 4,800 glass fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels that wrap the tower's exterior.
This engineering breakthrough, featured on PBS's "Impossible Builds: The Scorpion Tower," eliminates interior structural columns entirely. Residents benefit from completely open floor plans with unobstructed views in every direction—no beams or load-bearing walls interrupt the living spaces.
The organic, flowing lines of the exoskeleton have earned the building nicknames including "The Scorpion Tower" and "The Scorpion in the Sky," as the structural ribs evoke the protective shell of that resilient creature.
Dame Zaha Hadid (1950-2016) was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize (2004) and a two-time recipient of the RIBA Stirling Prize. Her landmark projects include the London Aquatics Centre, Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, MAXXI Museum in Rome, and Guangzhou Opera House. One Thousand Museum stands as her only residential tower in the Americas and one of her final completed works.
One Thousand Museum sits directly across from Museum Park, a 30-acre waterfront green space that is home to the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. The location places residents at the cultural center of Miami with walking-distance access to the city's premier institutions.
Walking Distance: Pérez Art Museum Miami, Frost Science Museum, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Kaseya Center (formerly American Airlines Arena), Bayside Marketplace
5-7 Minutes: Brickell Financial District, South Beach
10 Minutes: Wynwood Arts District, Design District
15-20 Minutes: Miami International Airport
The adjacent Miami Worldcenter development—a $4 billion mixed-use project—continues to add high-end retail, hospitality, and entertainment options to the immediate neighborhood.
One Thousand Museum residences typically trade between $6 million and $24 million, with prices per square foot averaging approximately $1,700+. The building's combination of architectural significance, Forbes-rated service, and unique amenities like the private helipad positions it among Miami's most prestigious addresses alongside developments like Faena House and Arte Surfside.
