A sky-high condo in an award-winning residential tower is up for grabs in Miami. Perched on the 51st floor of Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum in the downtown area, the full-floor residence spans over 10,000 square feet with five bedrooms and panoramic views of the city skyline, Biscayne Bay, and Atlantic Ocean. Late Market America founder and socialite James Ridinger and his wife, Loren, bought the place for $18.5 million in 2021. Hedgie Ken Griffin and David and Victoria Beckham own sprawling units, but Ridinger’s home is currently the largest available in the tower.
Loren Ridinger, the current Market America CEO and a bestselling author, gave People an inside look at the epic residence this past February, shortly after it arrived on the market with its $24 million price tag. Seth Semilof of HL Real Estate Group, which facilitated the couple’s original purchase of the home, holds the listing exclusively.
One Thousand Museum was completed in 2019, stands 62 stories tall, and features a concrete exoskeleton with a web of flowing lines that provide structural support. Doormen greet you downstairs in the spectacular lobby before taking the elevator up to the what marketing materials describe as the “sky mansion,” just one of 10 full floor residences in the building.
Decorative wallpaper opposite black walls in the foyer allow blue skies to pop at the end of the hall. Further in, soaring ceilings add to the airiness while a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass lets in an abundance of natural light. Motorized window treatments aid in heat and light modulation.
A seated wet bar and a 1,200-square-foot patio are highlights of the main living area. Wide corridors trailing throughout the home are also noteworthy when considering their expansive walls, which are perfect for hanging blue-chip art and family photographs. A gourmet kitchen, formal dining area, and office also take up space, along with dedicated staff quarters and a curtained home theater. The best views of downtown are found in the primary suite, though, where the marble-clad bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub are featured next to breathtaking vistas.
Other perks afforded to residents of the tower include access to an aquatic center, spa, sky lounge, and rooftop helipad. White-glove services at the property opposite Museum Park further sweeten the deal, alongside its proximity to new art and science museums.
Records show Ridinger has also long owned two side-by-side estates on a serpentine Miami Beach street known for its high-profile residents, and she and her late husband previously owned a $20 million condo in New York’s Chelsea before relocating to a larger home in Greenwich, Connecticut, which they listed for $7.49 million in 2019.
