One Thousand Museum Miami: Zaha Hadid's Scorpion Tower Guide 2026

One Thousand Museum Miami represents a landmark in architectural ambition, a project born from Zaha Hadid’s vision that remains the Western Hemisphere’s only residential tower designed by her practice. Hadid, who died at 65, had just completed a project that Miami now regards as a defining gift. The 62-story, 707-foot tower at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, completed in 2019 by Zaha Hadid Architects, houses 84 residences across four duplex townhouses on floors 12-13, 70 half-floor units from floors 14-55, and 10 full-floor penthouses from floors 56-61, crowned by a penthouse duplex. Its exoskeleton comprises 5,000 GFRC panels shipped from Dubai, forming a load-bearing exterior that eliminates interior columns and delivers uninterrupted sightlines from Biscayne Bay to the Atlantic. Interiores were led by Uli Petzold, with landscape by Enzo Enea, and structural engineering by DeSimone Consulting Engineers, underscoring the building as a signature trophy asset in ultra-luxury real estate.
