‘Mansion in the sky' Miami penthouse in Pritzker-winning architect Zaha Hadid's final building asks $24M
The 51st-floor residence, owned by Loren Ridinger, co-founder and CEO of Market America — a marketing company founded in 1992 — is the largest residence currently available in the building. It out-sizes units inside owned by billionaire Ken Griffin, singer Marc Anthony and soccer legend David Beckham.
The full-floor penthouse, represented by Seth Semilof of HL Real Estate Group, spans 10,338 square feet with a 1,200-square-foot patio, offering panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline and the Atlantic Ocean.

Hadid, the Iraqi-born British architect who became the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004, left an indelible mark with her daring deconstructivist designs, seen in landmarks like the Heydar Aliyev Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan — and Rome's MAXXI museum.

'What's unique about it is bringing someone like Zaha Hadid to Miami,' Semilof said. 'You really never have had that type of an architect … This building started construction pre-COVID — before the time of [big-time] architects coming down to Miami — that to me is kind of what makes this building very special.'

The building's exclusivity draws high-profile residents, with only 84 units across its 61 floors.
'It's a little bit different in terms of product,' Semilof said.
This rarity, combined with Hadid's visionary design, has made the tower a magnet for the elite seeking discretion and luxury.

The penthouse's $24 million price tag positions it as the priciest unit currently listed in the building, edging out another at $23.75 million.
Semilof highlighted its scale: 'Most of the units in the building are half floors, two per floor, and then from floors 50 to 60, they're full-floor units. Our unit is the biggest unit. It's on the 51st floor, it's 10,300 square feet and then [Ken Griffin's], which is on the 58th floor, is about 9,000 square feet.'
He described it as 'basically a mansion in the sky,' adding, 'It's Zaha Hadid's last building and it's really the only 10,000-square-foot apartment you could get in all of downtown that's built within the last 10 years.'

Coast Guard report: OceanGate Titan implosion was 'preventable'
Rear Admiral John W. Mauger of the Coast Guard briefs the media on the search for the Titan submersible in 2023. The Coast Guard released its findings Tuesday, saying the implosion that killed five people was preventable. File photo by C.J. Gunther/EPA Aug. 5 (UPI) -- The implosion of the OceanGate submersible Titan in 2023 was "preventable," because of its inadequate design and "toxic" workplace culture, according to a report released by the U.S. Coast Guard Tuesday. The Titan imploded on June 18, 2023, killing five people. The 335-page report documented the causes of the implosion and listed 17 safety recommendations to strengthen oversight of submersible operations, improve coordination among federal agencies and close gaps in international maritime policy. All five on the submersible were killed in the implosion. They were OceanGate's founder and CEO, Stockton Rush; British billionaire Hamish Harding; French maritime expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet; Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood. "The two-year investigation has identified multiple contributing factors that led to this tragedy, providing valuable lessons learned to prevent a future occurrence," said Jason Neubauer, chair of the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation for the Titan. "There is a need for stronger oversight and clear options for operators who are exploring new concepts outside of the existing regulatory framework. I am optimistic the [Report of Investigation's] findings and recommendations will help improve awareness of the risks and the importance of proper oversight while still providing a pathway for innovation." Titan's imploded wreckage was found on the ocean floor about 1,640 feet off the bow of the Titanic. The Coast Guard conducted hearings last year to hear testimony from OceanGate employees and others involved in the dive. OceanGate operations director David Lochridge testified about the business climate at the company and about what he said was Rush's penchant for playing fast and loose with the rules. Lochridge told the panel that the company's goal was to turn a profit, that OceanGate ignored obvious safety issues, and that "very little" science was involved in carrying out the sub's dives. OceanGate's former engineering director, Tony Nissen, testified that he was fired because he refused to approve a planned expedition after the submersible was struck by lightning, which compromised its experimental carbon fiber hull. "Stockton [Rush] would fight for what he wanted and, even if it changed from day to day, he wouldn't give an inch. Most people would eventually back down to Stockton. It was death by a thousand cuts," he testified. The 21-foot Titan submersible lost contact with the crew of the Polar Prince about 1 hour and 45 minutes into its dive on June 18, 2023. Responders scoured the North Atlantic Ocean, near the wreckage of the Titanic passenger liner that sank in 1912, to find the missing vessel before its oxygen ran out. The Coast Guard said in September 2024 that the Titan crew sent a message during the fateful dive that "all is well" just before the deadly implosion. It was the final communication from the Titan before the implosion. Neubauer's listed extensive causes of the disaster and recommendations for future vessels. "The board determined the primary contributing factors were OceanGate's inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection process for the Titan," Neubauer said in the press release announcing the report. "Other factors cited in the report include a toxic workplace culture at OceanGate, an inadequate domestic and international regulatory framework for submersible operations and vessels of novel design, and an ineffective whistleblower process under the Seaman's Protection Act. "The board also found OceanGate failed to properly investigate and address known hull anomalies following its 2022 Titanic expedition. Investigators determined the Titan's real-time monitoring system generated data that should have been analyzed and acted on during the 2022 Titanic expedition. However, OceanGate did not take any action related to the data, conduct any preventative maintenance or properly store the Titan during the extended off season before its 2023 Titanic expedition." He went on to list recommendations for further dives, including restrictions on oceanographic research vessels, expanding requirements to all submersibles and requiring Coast Guard documentation for all U.S. submersibles. Neubauer also recommended "adding Coast Guard personnel capacity at Coast Guard Headquarters to support new construction oversight and field inspections involving submersibles and vessels of novel design." Other recommendations include submitting Coast Guard search and rescue plans, safety requirements, whistleblower agreements and investigative protocols. In August 2024, Paul Henry Nargeolet's family filed suit demanding OceanGate to pay $50 million for the explorer's wrongful death. The family's lawsuit filed in a court in Seattle accuses OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and others of gross negligence and wrongful death.

Switzerland's president rushes to Washington in effort to avert steep U.S. tariffs
GENEVA — Switzerland's president and other top officials were traveling to Washington on Tuesday in a hastily arranged trip aimed at striking a deal with the Trump administration over steep U.S. tariffs that have cast a pall over Swiss industries like chocolates, machinery and watchmaking. President Karin Keller-Sutter was leading the delegation after last week's announcement that exports of Swiss goods to the U.S. will face a whopping 39% percent tariff starting Thursday. That is over two-and-a-half times higher than the rate on European Union goods exported to the U.S. and nearly four times higher than on British exports to the U.S. Many Swiss companies in industries including watchmaking and chocolates have expressed concern about the issue. It's also more than the 31% that Switzerland had been set to face when President Trump announced his 'Liberation Day' tariffs on products from dozens of countries in early April. The Swiss government said the trip was 'to facilitate meetings with the U.S. authorities at short notice and hold talks with a view to improving the tariff situation for Switzerland.' Keller-Sutter, who also serves as Switzerland's finance minister, has faced criticism in Swiss media over a last-ditch call with Trump before a U.S. deadline on tariffs expired Aug. 1. She was leading a team that included Economy Minister Guy Parmelin. In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Trump alluded to the call, saying 'the woman was nice, but she didn't want to listen' and that he had told her: 'We have a $41 billion deficit with you, Madame ... and you want to pay 1% tariffs.' 'I said, 'you're not going to pay 1%,'' he added. It was not immediately clear where that $41 billion figure came from. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the United States ran a $38.3 billion trade imbalance on goods last year with Switzerland. Swiss officials have argued that American goods face virtually zero tariffs in Switzerland, and the Swiss government says the wealthy Alpine country is the sixth-biggest foreign investor in the United States and the leading investor in research and development. Ivan Slatkine, the head of the Federation of Romandie Enterprises, which regroups companies in French-speaking Switzerland, told Le Temps newspaper that 39% tariffs amounted to a 'hammer blow for the entire Swiss economy.' Some Swiss companies — like high-end watchmakers with little direct competition — might face less impact, but others in airplane parts, machines and mid-level watchmaking would be hit, he said. 'For all the companies that depend on the American market, it's really bad news — in particular compared to rivals in the European Union, whose exports are taxed only at 15%,' he was quoted Tuesday as saying. The trip comes a day after Switzerland's executive branch, the Federal Council, held an extraordinary meeting and said it was 'keen to pursue talks with the United States on the tariff situation,' the government statement Tuesday said. After consulting with Swiss businesses, the council said it had developed 'new approaches for its discussions' with U.S. officials and was looking ahead to continued negotiations. 'Switzerland enters this new phase ready to present a more attractive offer, taking U.S. concerns into account and seeking to ease the current tariff situation,' a council statement said Monday. Under the U.S. announcements Friday, Swiss companies will now have one of the steepest export duties — only Laos, Myanmar and Syria had higher figures, at 40-41%. Keaten writes for the Associated Press.

BP says it has made largest oil find of the century off Brazil
Aug. 5 (UPI) -- British energy giant BP announced Tuesday its biggest oil and gas find in decades in the South Atlantic, amid a pivot back to its fossil fuel roots and away from renewable energy. Gordon Birrell, BP's executive vice president for production and operations, said the discovery of the deposits, at the Bumerangue block in the Santos Basin, 250 miles off the east coast of Brazil, was "BP's largest in 25 years" and that the company was looking at constructing a hub to extract the oil and gas. BP said it had not found a field of a similar magnitude since the Shah Deniz gas field in the Caspian Sea in Central Asia in 1999 and comes as the company has made a series of other finds, including in Namibia, Egypt, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. "This is another success in what has been an exceptional year so far for our exploration team," said Birrell. The announcement came as the company released results for the second quarter showing net profit fell 14.6% from the April to June period in 2024 to $2.35 billion. However, the performance easily exceeded the expectations of analysts who had forecast BP's earnings would come in at just $1.81 billion, so soon after a major "reset" aimed at reviving the company's fortunes that it announced in February. The turnaround plan centered on boosting investors' faith in the company with a dramatic cut in planned investments in renewable energy projects in favor of ploughing billions of dollars a year more into the traditional oil and gas business. To that end, Tuesday's announcement included a rise in its quarterly dividend from 8 cents to 8.32 cents and that BP would keep its share buyback program at $750 million for the second quarter, with CEO Murray Auchincloss pledging a "thorough review" to ensure the firm was "maximizing shareholder value moving forward." "Inside the upstream, we've had tremendous performance, along with record operating efficiency [and] along with starting up five new major projects," Auchincloss told CNBC. He also hailed the Santos Basin discovery, saying he was "very optimistic" about it. BP's share price on the London Stock Exchange rose as high as $5.55 after the results were released before falling back slightly to $5.47 in afternoon trade. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation.
