Celebrities like Jake Gyllenhaal, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have previously purchased apartments in the building.

The underground garage is particularly appealing to those who need to dodge paparazzi. 

"In particular, the respectful adaptation, as well as creation of underground parking and valet lobby, were critical for early market-leading sales, including to automobile-enthusiast buyers," a representative for CetraRuddy, the architecture firm behind 443 Greenwich, previously told Insider. "It has been called 'paparazzi-proof' for its punched windows, original brick masonry façade, and secure drive-in garage access."

Jennifer Gates reportedly paid $51 million for a penthouse in the building that formerly belonged to F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton bought the penthouse in 2017 for around $44 million, but reportedly never lived in it.

The penthouse was purchased through a Seattle-based trust tied to Gates. 

Hamilton bought the penthouse for $43.99 million in 2017, but put it back on the market in 2019 after buying another apartment close by.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation did not immediately respond to Insider's request for confirmation of Gates' purchase or comment.

The penthouse is 8,900 square feet and has a 3,400 square-foot outdoor space with a plunge pool. It has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, two powder rooms, and two of the building's 15 parking spaces.
