Apartments start at US$5 million in the striking 62-floor tower, which includes a private rooftop helipad, sky lounge, double-height aquatic centre with an indoor swimming pool, juice bar and beauty salon
Miami's eye-catching “exoskeleton” skyscraper is finally complete after seven years and almost US$300 million in construction costs.
The tower, called One Thousand Museum, includes 84 luxury residences, about 64 per cent of which have already been sold since sales started in 2013, according to the developer. The rest are selling for US$5 million for a half-floor residence to upwards of US$25 million for a full floor. Residents have access to lavish amenities including a private rooftop helipad, a sky lounge, a double-height aquatic centre 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 The Wall Street Journal.

The tower has a distinctive “exoskeleton” exterior that's made up of more than 4,800 pieces of glass fibre-reinforced concrete that were shipped from Dubai.
A sculptural porte-cochère entrance offers residents privacy from the street as they enter the building.
