Muse, Residential skyscraper in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, United States
Muse Residences is a 47-story residential condominium tower in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, designed by Carlos Ott. It contains 68 units, each including a sculpture by Helidon Xhixha. The tall, narrow building rises 649 feet (198 m) above sea level, the maximum permitted height at the time of its completion.
Muse Residences was developed by Property Markets Group and S2 Development and completed in 2018. Designed by architect Carlos Ott as a tall, narrow tower, it was built to Sunny Isles Beach's then-maximum permitted height of 649 feet (198 m) above sea level. On completion it stood as the tallest building in Sunny Isles Beach and the tallest in Florida outside Miami.
Muse Residences is a private condominium, not a public or business venue. Its cultural marker is the sculpture that Helidon Xhixha made for each of the 68 units, placing a signed artwork inside every residence. The building's name and its slender profile by Carlos Ott are what residents and passers-by on Collins Avenue associate with it.
Muse Residences is a private condominium, not a public building, so interiors and the 68 units are not open to visitors. It stands at 25.93496, -80.12089 in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, and can be seen from the street and the beach. The 47-story tower reaches 649 feet (198 m) above sea level, the maximum height allowed in the city when it was built.
Each of the 68 condominiums at Muse includes a sculpture by Albanian artist Helidon Xhixha, a detail easy to miss from the street. The tower was designed by Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott, whose other work includes the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
