Less than two years after snapping up a $43.991 million apartment in a celebrity-studded condo project in Manhattan’s Tribeca district, British Formula One star Lewis Hamilton has struck again, this time buying a $40.7 million trophy penthouse in another big-name building a block away.

According to people familiar with both deals, Mr. Hamilton recently bought a penthouse at 70 Vestry Street, a limestone building developed by the Related Companies and designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Its owners include quarterback Tom Brady and his wife, model Gisele Bündchen.

The penthouse has four bedrooms and spans about 6,547 square feet plus more than 3,000 square feet of outdoor space, according to marketing materials. The home has unobstructed views of the Hudson River. The building has a gated porte-cochère that leads into a courtyard to protect the privacy of its residents, as well as an 82-foot-long swimming pool, a fitness center, a squash court, a library and a lounge where residents can host seated dinners and cocktail parties.

Another home in 70 Vestry recently sold for $55 million to an Italian entrepreneur, setting a price record for a New York apartment south of 14th Street, The Wall Street Journal reported.

One block east is Mr. Hamilton’s other apartment at 443 Greenwich Street, the people familiar with the transactions said. The loft-style apartment is located in a former book bindery, and the project’s amenities include a 71-foot-long indoor swimming pool and a wine cellar. Other celebrities who have owned units at that building include actress Jennifer Lawrence and actor Mike Myers. Mr. Hamilton bought that unit in March 2017 through the same holding company, according to the people familiar with both deals.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Hamilton declined to comment on the latest deal, as did the brokerage marketing the project, Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group.

Mr. Hamilton won his fifth Formula One title last year in Mexico, becoming only the third driver in history to win so many times.
