Projects completed during Del Vecchio's tenure included the Westchester One office building, the Westchester County Courthouse, the White Plains Public Safety building, the Galleria mall, a new Metro North railroad station and several other office buildings and shopping areas.

Credit or blame?
Westchester One is an out of scale monstrosity.
Country courthouse is OK, except for the monster one way streets that surround it and slash through much of White Plains.
Public Safety building has a police car entrance more secret than that to the Bat Cave. On weekends police are in the basement bunker, unaware of violations on street level.
Galleria mall: biggest mistake. Should have been Central Park. What a mess.
The railroad station is only now catching up on 30 years of neglect and poor original design.
You quoted a former protege and long time commissioner. What were the circumstances of his departure?
No one wants to say a bad word about a recently departed but put a little effort into it.
