David Beckham And Victoria Beckham Sell Zaha Hadid-Designed Luxury Miami Penthouse For $25 Million
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have sold their Miami penthouse, designed by celebrated architect Zaha Hadid, for $25 million. Here’s a closer look at the details behind the high-profile deal
A luxury penthouse in architect Zaha Hadid’s sculptural residential skyscraper in Miami, One Thousand Museum, has changed hands.
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have sold their luxury residence in the iconic building for a whopping $25 million.
The couple purchased the property in 2020 for a reported $19.8 million, ultimately securing an estimated profit of nearly $5 million.
The 9,200-square-foot luxury apartment sits on the 59th floor of the 62-storey tower at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard. It has five bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms, with floor-to-ceiling glazing and views across Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Why One Thousand Museum Is A Masterpiece And One Of A Kind
One Thousand Museum tower is one of the final projects completed by Hadid before her death in 2016 and one of only two American residential projects her firm ever completed. The high-rise is defined by its white, curving exoskeleton, which wraps around the structure and reduces the need for interior support columns.
Amenities include a sky lounge, the only private helipad in Miami, an aquatic centre and a sundeck. The building stands opposite the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and the Pérez Art Museum Miami.

The sale comes about a year after the Beckhams paid a staggering $72.3 million for a waterfront compound on North Bay Road in Miami Beach. The nine-bedroom luxury property was designed by Florida firm Choeff Levy Fischman. It last sold for $10 million in 2018 to developer Niklas de la Motte.
Everything You Need To Know About Zaha Hadid
Few architects have bent the world’s imagination quite like Zaha Hadid. The Iraqi-British architect, born in Baghdad in 1950, was a rebel visionary whose designs looked less like buildings and more like fluid dreams poured into concrete, glass, and steel.
Nicknamed the Queen of the Curve, she reimagined what architecture could be in the twenty-first century. Her work shattered the rigidity of modernism, replacing straight lines with organic fluidity. To her, a building was not a box to inhabit but a landscape to explore – an extension of movement and emotion. When others saw boundaries, she saw potential.
Zaha Hadid’s Journey
Zaha Hadid began her architectural journey at the Architectural Association School in London, where she developed her radical approach to form and structure. Her early drawings were so avant-garde that many believed they could never be built. But her determination and mastery of emerging digital tools turned those dreamlike concepts into reality.
She founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979, and her first major breakthrough came with the Vitra Fire Station in Germany (1993) – all sharp angles and energy frozen mid-motion. From there, her career became a series of global landmarks that redefined cities: the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku.
