Millennium Tower ‘Grand Penthouse’ on sale for $45 million

The so-called Grand Penthouse on the 60th floor of Millennium Tower at 1 Franklin Street in Downtown Crossing is on sale for $45 million.

The palace in the sky runs to 13,256 square feet; and includes eight bedrooms as well as 10 and a half bathrooms. There is also a sizable terrace and, unsurprisingly, the vantage affords 360-degree views of the Boston region. The tag also covers six garaged parking spaces.

If the penthouse sells around or over its asking price, it would become the most expensive home sale in Boston history.

The same penthouse had been under contract to billionaire investor John Grayken in mid-2016, though it’s unclear if he closed on what was then estimated to be a $37.5 million—or thereabouts—deal. It closed: $35 million in August 2016.
