Loren Ridinger, cofounder and SVP of internet retail giants Market America and SHOP.COM, has listed her Miami “sky mansion” for sale, as the New York Post has reported. The 10,338 sq. ft. penthouse (Unit 5101) is at 1000 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, Fla. One Thousand Museum—the building atop which Ridinger’s home sits—provides 360-degree views of Biscayne Bay, the Magic City skyline and the Atlantic Ocean.
The visionary behind the design of One Thousand Museum is architect Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid, whose other notable projects include:
- The Aquatics Centre for the 2012 London Olympics
- The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, on the campus of Michigan State University
- The Guangzhou Opera House in the People’s Republic of China
She has ensured that the property bespeaks status, style and lux amenities, while also enabling comfort and relaxation.
Ridinger’s entryway, for example, creates an immediate impression, with dramatic lighting and contemporary furniture. Nonetheless, it is welcoming.
As with much of the rest of the home, the décor and layout of the dining room are purposefully minimalistic. Ridinger clearly chose a simple approach to furnishings and accents, better to allow the views to speak for themselves.
The kitchen is clutter-free; however, the vast storage spaces are conveniently located, ensuring that cooking accoutrements and recipe ingredients are within easy reach.
The bedroom suite is everything a busy executive could want: large and airy, quiet and restful, and again, situated for five-star vistas by day and (especially) night.
Unit 5101’s new owner will undoubtedly be a highly successful career figure. That role requires a wardrobe suitable for an active workplace, a high-profile nightlife, an active exercise regimen, and some restful downtime. That variety requires extensive storage capabilities, which fortunately, this condominium has.
Whether the occupant of 5101 needs a quick shower before running off to an event or a long soak after a tough day, the bathroom provides both in an indulgent setting.
Condominium living can, amid its advantages, become rather antiseptic, cocooning residents indoors for vast amounts of time. This property, however, offers an attractive anecdote: a lengthy patio with a gorgeous waterfront view that stretches for miles.
Beyond the perks of the unit itself are those provided by the building (One Thousand Museum.) These include an indoor pool on an upper level, making it possible to swim laps amid the clouds.
If the challenges of commuting in and out of Miami sound daunting to possible residents, there are no worries with this property. The building’s roof holds a helipad.
The movie theater within One Thousand Museum rivals the plush seating and large screen of a neighborhood cinema, with the convenience of onsite accessibility.
Unit 5101 of One Thousand Museum, 1000 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, Fla., lists for $24 million. Its full list of amenities is available at the New York Post.
