989 Sixth Avenue — named Casoni — is one of the tallest residential towers to rise on the Garment District's eastern edge, a roughly 785-foot, 68-story curvilinear tower clad in a distinctive champagne-toned glass curtain wall. Developed by Sioni Group and designed by C3D Architecture, it topped out ahead of schedule and has reshaped this stretch of the Midtown skyline between the Garment District and Bryant Park.

What makes the building relevant to buyers is its structure. Casoni is a mixed for-sale and rental tower: the lower floors are leased, while the uppermost floors are a small, deliberately scarce collection of 27 condominiums. Buying here means buying the top of the tower — the highest floors, the longest views, and the most distinctive finishes — within a brand-new, full-amenity building. That is a different proposition from the typical Midtown condominium: a limited top-of-tower offering, rather than a full building of for-sale homes.

The location is the quiet anchor. One block from Bryant Park and the main branch of the New York Public Library, and within a short walk of the Sixth Avenue, Times Square, and Herald Square transit hubs, the building sits at one of the most transit-rich and centrally connected points in Manhattan — a position that has steadily gained residential credibility as the Garment District has rezoned and modernized around it.

What to know if you’re buying

This is a new-development condominium purchase, and the structure should frame the decision. As a condominium, Casoni offers the ownership flexibility a co-op cannot: purchases are not subject to a co-op board admissions process, financing is not capped by a board, and pied-à-terre, investor, LLC, and out-of-state purchases are customary at a building of this kind. The for-sale residences are offered under a condominium plan filed with the New York State Attorney General; closing mechanics, common-charge and tax projections, and finish selections follow that plan and the construction timeline.

The opportunity here is specific: you are buying the top of a brand-new 785-foot tower, with the highest floors, the longest views, and the building's most distinctive finishes, in a collection of only 27 homes. Diligence centers on the new-development fundamentals — the offering plan, the sponsor's delivery, projected common charges and real estate taxes, and the relationship between the for-sale residences and the rental floors below (governance, amenity access, and cost allocation between the two). We help buyers read the plan, benchmark the high-floor pricing against Midtown's newest condominium inventory, and structure the purchase.

What to know if you’re selling

For an eventual resale, the building's defining assets are scarcity and altitude. Only 27 condominiums exist in the tower, all on its highest floors, finished above the building's rental standard — a combination that distinguishes a resale here from the broader Midtown condominium field and supports a benchmark set drawn from new high-floor product rather than older mid-block stock.

The selling case is forward-looking but concrete. With a small for-sale count and the first owners just taking title, available resale inventory will be thin, and a well-positioned home benefits from that limited supply and from the tower's architectural distinctiveness. Closing mechanics are condominium-standard — a resale clears through a right-of-first-refusal rather than a co-op board process, a faster and more predictable path that itself appeals to the flexibility-minded buyer the building attracts. The seller's task is to position floor, view, and finish accurately against Midtown's newest condominium pricing and the building's own debut tier.
