Both new tenants at 21-09 Borden are relocating to Queens from Manhattan. DeAngelis, Ltd., a high-end upholsterer, has signed for 27,000 square feet, while digital printing company TouchStone Direct is taking 16,000 square feet. Both are five-year leases, according to Sholom & Zuckerbrot, which arranged the deals.

DeAngelis divided its full-floor space on the sixth floor into a large showroom, offices and separate workrooms for upholstery, drapery, pillows and furniture frames, according to a release. TouchStone's lease covers part of the second floor. The building's owner, 21-09 Borden Avenue Corp., is clearing and renovating the fourth and fifth floors for lease on a full-floor, half-floor or quarter-floor basis.

A spokeswoman for S&Z says the building's seventh floor has been partially cleared and is available for rent.
