In a matter of months, the leasing team of Faith Hope Consolo, chairman, and Joseph Aquino, executive vice president of Prudential Douglas Elliman's Retail Group, has arranged the leases for several new stores along the David Rockwell-designed block-front that runs from 61st to 62nd Streets on Third Avenue. The newest entry to the mix is Oreste Borsa, a Chicago-based retailer of fine Italian accessories, including women's designer handbags and fashion jewelry, which is expanding its brand by returning to New York and taking the store at 1039 Third Avenue.
