1031 Sixth Avenue — marketed as Bryant Park Tower, with its residential entrance addressed at 100 West 39th Street — is one of the cleaner expressions of a Midtown idea: put the condominium residences at the top, where the light and the views are, and run a hotel underneath to carry the building's service infrastructure. Completed in 2004 to a design by Nobutaka Ashihara Associates, the tower rises 44 stories, with a Marriott Residence Inn occupying the base and 89 condominium apartments stacked on the upper floors.
The premise is location. The building sits a short walk from Bryant Park, Times Square, the New York Public Library, Penn Station, Grand Central, and a dense cluster of subway lines. For buyers who want a turn-key, full-service apartment in the geographic center of Manhattan — without the carrying cost of a trophy address — the tower has long functioned as a workhorse Midtown condominium rather than a marquee one.
That positioning defines the building's character. The unit mix skews toward studios and one-bedrooms; the buyer pool has historically included pied-à-terre owners, commuters, and investors drawn by the building's flexible ownership rules. It is not a quiet residential side-street building, and it does not pretend to be — it is a high-floor perch above one of the busiest corridors in the city.
Architecture and unit composition
The tower reads as a modern vertical slab. The residential floors begin above the hotel, which means even mid-tier condominium units sit at a meaningful elevation — an advantage in a dense Midtown context where lower floors lose light and views to neighboring buildings. Upper-floor units capture Midtown skyline, Bryant Park, and Hudson outlooks depending on exposure.
Apartments are predominantly studios and one-bedrooms, with some larger and penthouse-level layouts at the top. Floor-to-ceiling glass and high elevations are the recurring draw; the finish level is solid 2000s new-construction rather than ultra-luxury. Because the condominium occupies only the upper portion of the structure, residents experience a building that feels smaller and more private than its overall height suggests.
The separate residential entrance on West 39th Street keeps owner and hotel traffic distinct — a structural feature buyers in mixed-use towers tend to value.
Building operations
1031 Sixth Avenue operates as a full-service condominium with 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, an on-site fitness center, an on-site parking garage, and laundry facilities. The condominium's relationship to the Marriott Residence Inn below is part of the building's daily-life reality: residents benefit from the service infrastructure a hotel base supports, and buyers should understand the mixed-use program before committing.
As with any condominium, common charges and property taxes drive the monthly carry; model the full carrying cost (common charges + taxes + utilities + insurance) before making an offer. Pets are permitted, and the building has historically been investor- and pied-à-terre-friendly; co-purchase and sublet specifics are governed by the current declaration and house rules. The Roebling Research Library can provide the offering plan, current rules, and recent financials during due diligence.
Recent sales
Sales at 1031 Sixth Avenue are best read on a price-per-square-foot basis, as with any condominium, and the building trades as a mid-market Midtown product rather than a trophy one. Inventory is concentrated in studios and one-bedrooms, with closings historically clustering in the four-figure-per-square-foot range — meaningfully below the new-development supertall pricing a few blocks north. The right way to price a specific unit is by exposure and floor: high-floor units with open Bryant Park or skyline views command a premium over lower, courtyard-facing inventory, and turn-key condition matters more here than in amenity-heavy luxury towers. Treat any single comparable cautiously; the building's heterogeneity by line and altitude means apartment-level analysis beats building-level averages.

What to know if you’re buying
Understand the mixed-use program. The condominium sits above an operating Marriott Residence Inn. Buyers who want a pure residential building may prefer a side-street condo; buyers who value the central location and hotel-grade service infrastructure find the program a feature.
Floor and exposure drive everything. Because the residences sit atop the hotel, altitude and orientation are the primary value levers. View the specific unit at multiple times of day.
Confirm the ownership rules. The building has historically been flexible on subletting, pied-à-terre, and investment use, but verify the current declaration and house rules against your intended use.
Model the full carry. Common charges + property taxes + utilities + insurance. Run any purchase near a mansion-tax threshold through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
Condo flexibility is real. Expect condo-fast closings (roughly 30–45 days) and a straightforward, financing-friendly process relative to a co-op.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and light. The pitch is central Midtown access plus high-floor outlooks at a sub-trophy price point. Identify the unit's best feature and market to it.
Position against the corridor. Buyers comparison-shop across nearby Midtown and NoMad condos; price to the building's mid-market reality, not to the supertall corridor to the north.
Turn-key condition pays. In a studio/one-bedroom market driven by pied-à-terre and investor buyers, move-in-ready apartments sell faster and tighter to ask.
Closings are condo-fast. Roughly 30–45 days from contract to closing.
