Read MoreDavid Beckham purchases $20 million condo at One Thousand Museum in Downtown Miami
Former soccer player David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham have just recently purchased a new condo at the Zaha Hadid-designed One Thousand Museum, a 62-story building complete with its own private rooftop helipad. This will be their new home in Miami.
One Thousand Museum is located at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami and officially opened in August 2019. David Beckham’s publishing and licensing company, Beckham Brand Limited, closed on the 11,046 square-foot, full-floor penthouse - one of the ten in the building - this Tuesday for $20 million, or $1,810 per square foot, a price that is much higher than the $1,392 per square foot that another penthouse in the building recently closed.
Robert Hite, a real estate agent at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, brokered the deal.
“Iconic design, sophisticated lifestyle, privacy, and security are among the key factors driving our clients to make One Thousand Museum their Miami base,” said the development team of One Thousand Museum. “We know Mr. Beckham and his team will be very happy here.”
The Beckhams and their four children will have access to the luxe lifestyle and exclusive amenities offered by One Thousand Museum, including an indoor lap pool, a Spa with relaxation pods and private treatment rooms, a private Beach Club, a house car service, a 1KM wellness center, and a Sky Lounge with curated seasonal menus.
“With the launch of Inter Miami CF, David and his team are spending significant amounts of time in Miami. One Thousand Museum is a very special building and we are excited to join the community there,” said a spokesperson for David Beckham.
