Is 7 really a lucky number? The sellers at the Gretsch Building sure hope so. Four of the 12 apartments on the seventh floor of the pioneering South Williamsburg luxury loft conversion are currently on the market, creating what must be one heck of a competitive atmosphere, and plenty of hallway traffic on open house days. So what's going on up there? Maybe the lobby art controversy really did turn Gretsch residents against each other, or maybe nobody wants to stick around to see how this whole Domino thing shakes out. Whatever it is, we can now get a pretty thorough look into life in the Gretsch, at least on Floor 7. Let's size these puppies up, shall we?
