The high life in the Hub has never been loftier than the staggering $37.5 million room with a view Millennium Partners is now offering — a record-breaking price for the entire top floor of the soaring 60-story Millennium Tower Boston.

And that includes just a raw shell, unfurnished — albeit 12,846 square feet of space with a wraparound outdoor terrace and 360-degree city views.

"It's a blank canvas for an owner to create a masterpiece," partner Richard Baumert said.

Although it's still under construction, demand already is high for the 625-foot glass tower's 442 condos in Downtown Crossing, which start at $850,000 for a 759-square-foot unit, according to Baumert.

Before the sales office opened to the public today, Millennium had 150 units under contract. They include three penthouses going for more than $9 million each, with the top price at $9.91 million.

"The response has been overwhelming, both in interest and tours, and sales," Baumert said.

Millennium Partners is enticing buyers with five-star amenities: 24-hour valet and concierge service, and a two-level club with a fitness center, lap pool, billiards room, library and lounge. A private-dining menu will feature Michelin-starred chef Michael Mina's "greatest hits" from all of his restaurants.

"The only place in the country where you can get these dishes on the list is here," Baumert said.

Millennium Tower Boston is rising in the former construction hole that long dogged Downtown Crossing as part of a $689 million project that includes the redevelopment of the former Filene's building.

Millennium's $37.5 million penthouse price translates to $2,919 per square foot. This year's city record is $2,744 per square foot for finished space: a 10-room condo at the coveted Carlton House at 2 Commonwealth Ave. that faces the Public Garden and sold for $8.5 million in May, according to Boston real estate agent David Bates.

"If they sell that penthouse, that will be the highest sale in the city's history by a long shot," Bates said. "There was some speculation if Boston was going to have its first $20 million sale, and now they're going to put this out at $37.5 million."

But the penthouse is unique, according to Bates.

"With people who have that money, they like a story around the lifestyle," he said. "You're not going to have anything else that's 60 floors up and be able to occupy the whole top floor."

The three tower penthouses already under contract also are raw space and are going for more than $2,200 per square foot.

Millennium knows "how to present," Bates said.

"They just go to an extra length," he said. "They have a doorman on the sales center. They're already trying to set the tone of what they want you to feel."

The "Millennium experience" is derived from the company's partnerships with luxury hotel chains Ritz-Carlton and the Four Seasons, Baumert said: "We've taken the best of their services … and branded ourselves. That really, for us, is the evolution of residential luxury living."
