Lewis Hamilton sells $43.9 million NYC penthouse for $49.5 million
Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton sold his luxury Tribeca penthouse for $49.5 million, netting a profit despite never living in the property. The triplex, located in a building popular with celebrities, was purchased in 2017 but ultimately served as an investment asset.
Why it matters
The transaction highlights the high-end real estate investment trends among global celebrities in major urban markets like New York City.
Lewis Hamilton turned a $43.99 million New York property purchase into a multimillion-dollar gain without ever making the Tribeca penthouse his home. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion bought Penthouse H at 443 Greenwich Street in 2017, then put the 8,908-square-foot triplex on the market for $57 million in 2019. After spending years on and off the market, the property entered a contract at $49.5 million in October 2021 and later closed at that price. Hamilton had already bought another Tribeca home at 70 Vestry Street, helping explain why the Greenwich Street property became an investment rather than a residence.What Did Lewis Hamilton Get For $43.99 Million At 443 Greenwich Street In TribecaHamilton bought Penthouse H from the sponsor for $43,991,455 in 2017.
