Bα₯llα₯onaα₯re Bill Gates gave a lavish penthouse apartment in N.Y.C to his daughter Phoebe when she was πππππππππππ ππππ ππππππππ ππ with her boyfriend
The penthouse apartment is 8,900 square feet and has a 3,400 square-foot outdoor space with a plunge pool. It includes six bedrooms, six bathrooms and two powder rooms.
βWe tried to plan the unit so that residents could get privacy but also take advantage of the views on the exterior and interior of the building,β Theresa Genovese, principal at CetraRuddy Architecture, told CNBC Make It.
βThe way we designed the apartments to bring in as much natural light as possible is one of the reasons why the building is so popular,β she added.
Gatesβ three-level penthouse is the largest residence in the building of 53 apartments. It has access to its own elevator and private elevator bank and comes with two of the buildingβs 15 parking spaces.
Other design details include pine beams, restored windows, a chefβs kitchen, a wet bar and a gas fireplace. The building itself has a 70-foot indoor pool, a gym, yoga rooms, a kidβs playroom, and room for bike storage and wine storage.
Genovese said celebrities particularly like that the building was designed with more elevators than needed for the number of apartments. This feature allows residents to get from their apartments to their cars without ever having to go outside.
