Construction Update: One Thousand Museum
Southeast corner from Biscayne Boulevard.
Construction is wrapping up at One Thousand Museum, a residential condo tower in Downtown Miami from the office of the late Zaha Hadid, a Pritzker Prize winning architect of international acclaim. Plaza Construction is leading the realization of the formally unique tower.
East facade.
The 62-story tower joins a more modestly sized residential building nearing completion in New York as the first residential projects from Zaha Hadid in the United States. Hadid's Miami tower is located in Downtown Miami, adjacent to Museum Park and its two new museums, the Perez Art Museum and the recently completed Frost Science Museum.
Southeast corner from Biscayne Boulevard.
After floor 15, Hadid's organic tower structure transitions from the traditional poured-in-place concrete with removable wood form-work to an innovative new solution, GFRC panels. Fabricated in Dubai, the glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels serve as both form-work and outer shell, saving much construction time. One Thousand Museum is the first tower in the U.S. to utilize the panels as permanent form-work and cladding.
Residents entering by car will be received by a valet and doorman at a private porte-cochere accessed at the southern boundary along NE 10th Street. Parking will be available on floors two to seven. An adjacent lobby will offer access to the concierge and high-speed elevators to the residences above. The ground floor will also host a restaurant that stretches along Biscayne Boulevard at the eastern boundary of the site, with views to Museum Park across the street.
Northwest corner.
At the very top of the tower, an Aquatic Center and Sky Lounge will provide residents with an indoor pool and private event space with stunning views to the beach and the city. The roof of the tower has also been designed to accommodate Miami's first private helipad on a residential tower.

Building Tour: 520 West 28th Street
East facade from 10th Avenue.
Construction nears completion at Related's 520 W 28 residential condo tower. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the 11-story, 40-unit condo flanks the western edge of the High Line at 28th Street.

The façade features a hand-rubbed metal screen that functions as a finished cover for the concrete slabs and the spandrel glass portions of the window wall. Hadid uses the slab covering as an opportunity to express and emphasize the softened edges at the corners and create the building's signature element of floors that meld with walls. The intricacy of their shapes require a technological artisanry, as they are formed by unique, laser cut pieces.

Amenities
Zaha Hadid's signature style is also evident throughout the building's amenity spaces as well. The residential lobby includes a 34-foot feature wall with Hadid's sculptural forms serving as artwork, along with a sculptural concierge desk and furniture designed by the architect. A lounge and entertainment suite open onto a High Line facing terrace. Hadid's signature curves carve openings into the walls of the wellness level amenities, providing glazed entries and views into the 75-foot saline-system swimming pool, private spa, and fitness center.
