One Thousand Museum is a high-rise condominium under construction in Miami, Florida, U.S.A. The deep foundation required drilling to record depths of over 170 feet (52 m).[2] The 62-story building is expected to rise about 700 feet (210 m) when completed in 2018, making it one of the tallest buildings in Miami.[3] The depths of two auger-cast piles broke a record for Miami-Dade County that had recently been set by the Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach.[2] The building, which is located at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, across from Museum Park, was designed by prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid.[3] The exotic design of the building features a curving exoskeleton partially obscuring the balconies[4] that also serves structural purposes, allowing the interior space to have fewer columns.[5] The effect of the design and height on wind loading is part of the reason the foundation had to be exceptionally deep.[6] The building is considered ultra-luxury, containing about 80 large units priced at about double the cost per square foot of nearby condominium towers, with amenities possibly including a rooftop helipad.[7]
