Starlight Designs, a jewelry designer and merchandiser, has leased 17,000-square-feet of space at The Factory, at 30-30 47th Ave. in Long Island City, NY.

“Long Island City continues to attract jewelry and fashion companies looking for alternatives to Manhattan,” said Jeffrey Unger, a broker with Kalmon Dolgin Affiliates, which represented the tenant in the transaction. “It’s got great transportation, infrastructure and a skilled labor force that’s perfect for new and existing fashion companies.”

Starlight Designs will design, merchandise and distribute their product from its new, fifth-floor space. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank represented The Factory’s landlord.
