Mansion in the sky Miami penthouse in Pritzker-winning architect Zaha Hadids final building asks $24M

A Miami penthouse in One Thousand Museum, the final architectural masterpiece of the late Zaha Hadid, has listed for $24 million, The Post has learned. The 51st-floor residence, owned by Loren Ridinger, co-founder and CEO of Market America — a marketing company founded in 1992 — is the largest residence currently available in the building.It out-sizes units inside owned by billionaire Ken Griffin, singer Marc Anthony and soccer legend David Beckham.The full-floor penthouse, represented by Seth Semilof of HL Real Estate Group, spans 10,338 square feet with a 1,200-square-foot patio, offering panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline and the Atlantic Ocean. It boasts five bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a private theater, a wet bar, his-and-hers bathrooms and closets, a wine cellar and custom audio-visual systems.Hadid, the Iraqi-born British architect who became the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004, left an indelible mark with her daring deconstructivist designs, seen in landmarks like the Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan — and Rome’s MAXXI museum. One Thousand Museum, her last project before her sudden death in 2016, redefined Miami’s skyline with its sculptural exoskeleton and futuristic aesthetic. “What’s unique about it is bringing someone like Zaha Hadid to Miami,” Semilof said.
