Roberta Gratz was a personal friend of Jane Jacobs, and recently sold the Long Island City warehouse she inherited from her industrialist family for $5.2 million. She sold it to a tennis court operator, who gives lessons to yuppies who live in all the new high-rise towers. traded.co/deals/new-yo...
