Abstract: It follows from the GKM description of equivariant cohomology that the GKM graph of a GKM manifold has free equivariant graph cohomology, and satisfies a Poincar'e duality condition. We prove that these conditions are sufficient for an abstract $3$-valent $T^2$-GKM graph to be realizable by a simply-connected $6$-dimensional GKM manifold. Our realization has the property that any closed stratum of a finite isotropy group contains a fixed point. Furthermore, we argue that in case there exists a fixed point in whose vicinity there occur at most two distinct finite nontrivial isotropy groups such a realization is unique up to equivariant homeomorphism, thus establishing a complexity one GKM correspondence in dimension $6$. We show that the statement on equivariant uniqueness is false without the two conditions on the finite isotropies by providing counterexamples in presence of a fixed point with three distinct neighbouring finite isotropy groups, as well as an example of a simply-connected integer GKM manifold with a closed stratum of a finite isotropy group which does not contain any fixed point.
