Formula One real estate dealings are in the news for the second time this week. After the announcement of a major stakeholder in McLaren’s Formula One team trying to break records with a $110 million listing in Santa Barbara, it appears that race car driver Lewis Hamilton has listed his New York penthouse for $57 million, the Real Deal has reported. This 8,900 square foot unit at 443 Greenwich in Tribeca is in the same building as other famous residents including Meg Ryan, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bella Hadid and The Weeknd, and Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. Tribeca has ranked as the highest priced neighborhood in Manhattan for the past several years, largely thanks to the influx of superprime condos that have been selling for tens of millions of dollars. It wouldn’t break price records for downtown Manhattan condo, but it would come very close. The current record holder is a $59 million condo purchased by billionaire Robert Smith in the Getty.Â
This unit is the largest penthouse loft in the building and sold for $43.9 million in 2017, after an initial asking price of $54 million. With only three other units for sale, out of a total of 53 units in the building, it’s a prime property to buy. The other three units range in price from $9.5 million to $12.6 million.
As a former factory, the building retains some of its industrial feel with the wooden beams and support brackets in the double-height living room. The floating stairs in the photo above are one way to get between the three floors, the in-unit private elevator is another.
Here’s another view of the living room to show how high the ceilings reach and the abundant natural light coming in through the tall windows.
The subdued kitchen uses Christopher Peacock cabinetry, with chef-quality appliances and pendant style overhead lighting.
The master bedroom has a gas fireplace, attached spa-like bathroom and a separate dressing room.Â
A room that can be used as an office has sash windows to go with the authentic feel of the condo.
The private outdoor terrace with plunge pool is one of the main features of the home. Visible in this photo is the corner of a glass-walled room that allows for entertaining space which feels like it is outdoors but can be a warm place to stay if the weather isn’t cooperating. Inside there’s a gas fireplace, wet bar and half bathroom.
The monthly maintenance fees are $16,218 which provide for access to a 24 hour doorman, concierge, superintendent, large lobby courtyard, children’s playroom, exercise facilities with 75 foot pool and Turkish steam bath spa area.Â
