In 2020, the iconic, exoskeleton tower had a record-breaking year of sales, with over $100 million in total. Buyers included star athletes and celebrities like David Beckham and Paul Pogba, as well as affluent purchasers from the Northeast and California that have been migrating to Florida and its prime residential destinations, topped by One Thousand Museum.

“While our original timeline for securing an inventory loan was pushed due to travel restrictions that hindered lenders from walking the finished project, we ultimately found the right lender in Cirrus Real Estate Partners,” said Louis Birdman, co-developer of One Thousand Museum. “We are pleased to enter this new chapter and confident in the upcoming sellout of our landmark building.”

“Despite the pandemic, South Florida proved to be a thriving spot for new residents who flocked to Florida from within the United States, and One Thousand Museum was a project that shined,” said Mayi De La Vega, Founder and CEO of One Sotheby’s International Realty, the Exclusive Broker for One Thousand Museum. “The tower had a record-breaking year with $100 million in sales, and 2021 has already started off with more than $35 million in sales, putting us on pace to exceed our 2020 success.”

The combination of tax benefits and a bustling cosmopolitan city that keeps growing in Miami have continued to bring in new residents from around the world. This year alone, One Thousand Museum has closed $35 million in sales, on track to surpass the milestone reached last year.

“We look forward to the commercial growth of One Thousand Museum,” said Tony Tufariello of Cirrus. “We worked to deliver capital quickly to maintain momentum at the property.”

“We have the experience to understand the operating complexity that comes with a high-profile luxury tower such as One Thousand Museum,” added Joseph McDonnell of Cirrus. “We believe that the capital we provided will help the property fulfill its significant potential."

One Thousand Museum – developed by Louis Birdman, Gilberto Bomeny, Kevin Venger, and partners Gregg Covin and Todd Glaser – was officially completed in August 2019, as one of the country’s most anticipated masterpieces.

The duplex, spanning the 10th and 11th floors, is encased in floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a panoramic view of the city which envelops residents as soon as they arrive home. The condo is outfitted with furniture from B&B Italia, one of the top furniture manufacturers in the world, whose pieces were designed by Patricia Aquila.

Aquila was personally chosen by Zaha Hadid to furnish the common areas throughout the building, giving this home a unique bond that no other unit shares. Inside the home, the common areas are reflective of the local art scene in Miami, with splashes of bold, primary colors, and custom touches in collaboration with Manolis projects.

Inspired by the vibrant nature of the Magic City, Italian-brand Morada Furniture is the design visionary mastermind behind some of the residences, paying homage to Zaha Hadid with custom pieces and meticulously designed interiors.

Take a look at the stunning residences below:

The post One Thousand Museum Announces Partnership With Luxury Design Firms Ahead of Highly-Anticipated Grand Opening appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Cassina has taken a wide range of creamy pastel colors and created a series of sofas and chairs with rounded edges to suit the trend. For a modern take, they’ve incorporated metal framework into the pieces, to offer a more compelling look that helps the piece blend into a room as a statement piece, and never feeling forced with its bold, but relaxed colors.

Heal’s offers a more traditional design in sofas and lighting, but hasn’t backed away from the trend of a big statement color sofa. With offerings in red and electric blue, their velvet-covered sofa in the new collection is worth basing the room around, with a texture and look that feels modern and fashionable, while still being the kind of piece you’re eager to get home from work and flop down onto. While Heal’s may be the least design heavy brand in this trend, they’ve mastered the balance between art and practicality in designing contemporary furniture for any home.

B&B Italia has launched a new collection, complete with their new showroom in London’s Brompton neighborhood. The collection doesn’t typically embrace the unique color choices the other have, but instead sticks to traditional, high-end options like leather and suede seating, with a few interesting chairs with a fur upholstery. Where the collections reaches back to an older design trend is in the shape and structure of each piece.

Several chairs feature big, swooping lines, bulbous cushions, and wraparound circular sectionals. While the designs are very bold, the leather collection is still a chic addition for a room’s look without seeming overkill. One of the most interesting pieces in the new line is the set of shelves, with different sized sections to help give a more curated, textured field for its contents.
