It has been almost three months since we last checked in on the construction progress of One Thousand Museum, a 62-storey residential tower currently under construction in Miami from developer 1000 Biscayne Tower. Since then, the Zaha Hadid-designed project's podium has progressed significantly, and some of the building's sculptural details have become apparent to passersby at street level.

Located on the northeast corner of NE 10th Street and NE 2nd Avenue, the development got underway back in December 2014 with an official ground breaking ceremony. Now standing nine storeys above the intersection, One Thousand Museum's podium levels are almost fully formed, and work will soon begin on the tower floors above. The tower will have much smaller floorplates than the podium, as well as repeating unit layouts that will allow work to progress at a much faster rate.

Distinctive sculptural elements are now visible on the podium levels. The image below reveals the irregularly shaped columns taking shape, as well as the rebar placement required to reinforce the next concrete pour.

As construction progresses on the new landmark, locals are using the development's sidewalk frontage as a makeshift memorial to the late architect, who passed away last week at the age of 65.

Once complete in 2017, the project will add just 83 luxury residences to the city, with sizes starting at a generous 4,500 square feet. One Thousand Museum will also offer its residents 30,000 square feet of amenity spaces, including a fitness centre, spa, and outdoor terrace with a swimming pool and ample seating.
