989 Sixth Avenue

C3D Architecture's design is the building's signature: a sculptural, curving form wrapped in a champagne-colored glass facade that reads warmer and more distinctive than the standard blue-grey Midtown curtain wall. At roughly 785 feet, the tower delivers its for-sale residences at the very top, where the floor plates command open views over Bryant Park, the Midtown core, and the Hudson.

The 27 condominiums run from one- to three-bedroom layouts and are finished to a top-of-market specification — custom stonework, custom millwork, and integrated smart-home systems — distinguishing them clearly from the rental homes below. As new construction, they carry contemporary ceiling heights, modern mechanical and air systems, and the efficiency and infrastructure of a ground-up build. The scarcity is intrinsic to the offering: with only 27 for-sale homes in a tower of this height, the condominium is a small, high-floor collection rather than a mass-market release.

Casoni's amenity program is built around health and wellness, with more than 25,000 square feet dedicated to fitness, recovery, and resident services — an unusually large wellness footprint for a Midtown tower, shared across the building and supporting the for-sale residences at the top.

The setting completes the case. Bryant Park — effectively the front lawn of this stretch of Midtown, with its lawn, reading room, seasonal programming, and restaurant row — is one block away. The New York Public Library, the Sixth Avenue corporate corridor, Times Square's theaters, and the dining and retail of both the Garment District and Bryant Park are all within a few minutes' walk. For transit, the building is among the best-connected residential addresses in the city, with the B/D/F/M at 42nd and the full Times Square interchange a short walk west. It is a center-of-everything location for buyers who want Midtown's connectivity in a brand-new high-floor home.

Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.

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.

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.
