David Beckham dropped $20M on a new Miami pad. It’s got great views over the bay
Soccer superstar David Beckham has a new sky pad atop the Zaha Hadid-designed One Thousand Museum in downtown Miami.
Beckham’s partnership and licensing company closed Tuesday on five-bedroom, six-and-a-half bath condo. The full-floor penthouse at 1000 Biscayne Blvd. — one of 10 in the building — spans 11,046 square feet. The asking price was $20 million. British tabloids published rumors of the purchase earlier this week.
The sale follows the March 19 closing of another One Thousand Museum penthouse, which sold for $13.8 million.
ONE Sotheby’s real estate agent Robert Hite brokered the deal.
“With the launch of Inter Miami CF, David and his team are spending significant amounts of time in Miami,” a spokesperson for Beckham said in the press release. “One Thousand Museum is a very special building and we are excited to join the community here.”
Beckham is a partner in Inter Miami, the city’s new MLS futbol club now in its first season. Like all pro sports, soccer matches are on pause due to the coronavirus crisis.
The residential tower’s privacy, location and architecture appealed to Beckham, according to a spokesperson. Hadid, the first woman to win a Pritzker Prize, died of a heart attack in 2016 while in Miami.
The unit will be Beckham’s new home base in Miami. He is married to fashion designer Victoria Beckham, formerly of the pop group Spice Girls. The couple has four children.
The sale closed slightly higher than the most comparable sale in the 62-story tower in downtown Miami. The Beckhams spent $1,810 per square foot compared to a 9,910-square-foot penthouse that closed for $13.8 million, or $1,392 per square foot.
