World-renowned architect Zaha Hadid’s former W South Beach condo was just sold, AGAIN at $6 million.

Data reveals M. Reada “Ray” Bassiouni was the seller of the combined units 726, 728, and 730 at 2201 Collins Avenue, which was acquired by Thomas Robert and his wife Ann Chan, the owner of the security firm ATI Systems in Boston is Bassiouni. In Ponte Vedra Beach, Robert is the owner of GC Land Development LLC.

Records show that Bassiouni paid $5.8 million for the condo in 2018. The combined units feature 2,541 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Since asking $8 million for the condo in March 2021, Bassiouni has intermittently offered it on the market. According to the Multiple Listing Service, the unit only brought in roughly $500,000 more than its previous asking price of $6.5 million.

Hadid designed the makeover herself after purchasing the apartments for $4.2 million in separate purchases over a five-year period. The Riverside Museum in Glasgow, the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympics, and Galaxy SOHO in Beijing were all designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect. When she passed away in Miami Beach in 2016, she was supervising the development of the Miami apartment complex One Thousand Museum that she had designed.

W South Beach is a luxury, oceanfront condo-hotel development located at 2201 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida. Built in 2009, W South Beach was developed by Tri Star Capital, Related Urban Development, and Starwood Properties.

With 300 feet of water frontage, W South Beach is considered to be one of South Beach’s finest residential developments. The W South Beach building was designed by award-winning architecture firm Nichols, Brosch, and Sandoval with interior design work by Yabu Pushelberg.

W South Beach rises 20 floors and includes 511 condo-hotel units comprised of studios, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom options plus penthouses.

Robert Rivani’s Black Lion Buys Retail Space at One Thousand Museum

Los Angeles-based investor Robert Rivani’s Black Lion paid $6.4 million for the ground-floor 6,500 square foot retail space inside the One Thousand Museum in Downtown Miami.

This week, the all-cash deal was completed. Black Lion intends to lease the area to a reputable hospitality company, but talks have not yet started, according to a firm representative.

Rivani stated, “One Thousand Museum is one of the most iconic and architecturally significant buildings in all of Miami. I knew we had to have a piece of it.”

The most recent purchase represents the investor’s tenth in South Florida during the previous two years, which also included a number of prestigious retail buildings.

Black Lion paid $13.5 million for the ground-floor retail space of the SLS LUX Brickell condo project last year. This space is now occupied by the popular Gekko steakhouse, a Bad Bunny and Grutman collaboration.

Additionally, the real estate investor spent $11.5 million and $19 million for retail condos in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth district. The company also owns the space that the popular upscale restaurant The Amara at Paraiso leases in Edgewater.

The 84-unit condominium was finished in 2019 by the developers of One Thousand Museum, a partnership made up of Louis Birdman, Gilberto Bomeny, Kevin Venger, Gregg Covin, and Todd Michael Glaser. They also sold the retail space to Black Lion.

In the wake of Art Basel Miami Beach, One Thousand Museum is reporting a major increase in sales as well as paying off its inventory loan.

With buyers from all over the globe and the attendance for Art Basel reaching over 60,000, it is of no surprise that sales for One Thousand Museum would increase.

According to the co-developer of One Thousand Museum, Kevin Venger, “As a testament of the recent success leading to the loan payoff, during Art Week alone, our sales team inked two large sales totaling more than $30 million.”

Another major milestone was the $90 million inventory loan that was secured in March 2021. According to the developers, that loan is officially paid off. Louis Birdman, another co-developer states, “Satisfying our $90M loan in eight months comes during a buying frenzy and Miami’s high season, which we expect to take One Thousand Museum to sellout quickly.”

The late Pritzker-winning architect Zaha Hadid built One Thousand Museum, which was developed by Louis Birdman, Gregg Covin, Kevin Venger, and Regalia Group.

One Thousand Museum is South Florida’s first residential complex with its own rooftop helipad, allowing residents to quickly travel to adjacent islands, private and commercial airports, and private boats.

With this exclusive partnership, One Thousand Museum puts itself on the map as becoming the only condominium development to deliver an unrivaled, hospitality-focused residential experience for residents and their guests on par with that of the finest hotels in the world.

Along with delivering a comprehensive training program for One Thousand Museum’s on-site staff, Forbes Travel Guide will develop customized brand standards. Executive trainers from Forbes Travel Guide will collaborate with One Thousand Museum’s management team to ensure that world-class training is delivered to each staff member.

The developer of One Thousand Museum has released a series of drone videos, each taken from the building’s rooftop helipad. The videos tease the jaw-dropping views future residents of 1000 Museum will enjoy as their chopper arrives and departs from the 62-story tower.

Once completed, One Thousand Museum will boast the ONLY residential helipad on the East Coast. The ultra-luxury development will include an on-site travel concierge service from which residents will be able to reserve the helipad and book transport to and from a number of destinations such as the Miami International Airport, nearby Islands, and more. Good riddance to Miami traffic!

One Thousand Museum was designed by legendary architect Zaha Hadid, whose untimely death two years ago caught us all by surprise. With an architectural marvel like 1000 Museum gracing our Miami skyline, the heavens will be left wondering if the “H” atop the building was left to denote “helipad” or Hadid’s last mark on our city.
