David 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.

Nukondo: Capturing the International Buyers Market in Miami

South Florida has and continues to be a hotbed for international buyers, according to the 2017 Survey conducted by the Miami Association of REALTORS. Foreign buyers purchased 15,400 residential units (between August 2016 - July 2017), totaling over $7.2 billion in sales in the Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin counties.

A new real estate tech company called Nukondo is attempting to capitalize on this market segment. Their app provides a platform for real estate developers and new construction brokers to stay informed on the latest luxury projects. It standardizes and distributes this information globally, so that buyers and their agents can decide which condominium is most suited for their needs.

After three months of beta-testing, Nukondo has successfully on-boarded 72 of the most prominent projects in Miami such as One Thousand Museum, Missoni Baia, and Turnberry Ocean Club, with over 10,000+ units in inventory. “Our app helps developers expose their projects globally 24/7, allowing them to speed up sales and cut marketing costs,” says founder Jorge Brugo. “Be informed when you’re searching for that special new condominium and make sound buying decisions.”

Nukondo exposes international buyers to the Miami and Florida markets and directs them to a condominium sales team. In Miami, these international buyers are primarily coming from:

1. Argentina: 15%

2. Venezuela: 11%

3. Canada: 11%

4. Colombia: 9%

5. Brazil: 8%

The company will move into its full release once user feedback and content curation have been finalized. The company plans to scale beyond its pilot market of Miami, into other major U.S. and international metropolitan cities.
