HADID-DESIGNED TOWER WITH KONE VT SYSTEM OPENS IN MIAMI

The 62-story One Thousand Museum, the late Zaha Hadid's final residential tower in the U.S. (ELENET 723), is open in downtown Miami, The Architect's Newspaper reports. Zaha Hadid Architects told ELEVATOR WORLD the vertical-transportation (VT) system, which includes elevators and a car lift, was provided by KONE. At 707 ft tall the fourth-tallest structure in Florida, One Thousand Museum is striking, with a white concrete "web of flowing lines" on the façade that have earned it the nickname Scorpion Tower. Located on Biscayne Boulevard overlooking a 30-acre urban greenspace called Museum Park, One Thousand Museum holds 84 almost entirely column-free units and an array of amenities.
