Candace Taylor published an article today in the WSJ about the late Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum tower in downtown Miami. The title: "Zaha Hadid’s Miami Tower Is an Architectural Feat. Is It Designed to Sell?"

It's an interesting case study, particularly for those of us in the industry. With only 84 units across 62 storeys, it is certainly "ultraluxury." There's also a helipad on the roof. Here is an excerpt from the article to give you a sense of the unit sizes:

Louis Birdman, one of the project’s developers, said prices, which range from just under $5 million to $25 million, are negotiable. Each floor has only one or two units, ranging in size from about 4,600 square feet to 10,400 square feet and each has at least four bedrooms. “Given what’s going on in the market now, I think all of us developers are competing for a similar buyer, so there’s obviously flexibility on price,” he said.

As you can probably glean from the above, the ultraluxury market has softened in Miami. But Candace is right: One Thousand Museum is an architectural masterpiece. If you're in the market for a new four bedroom home in downtown Miami, now may be right time.
