Vince Cangelosi, Founder, Principal
Vince Cangelosi, RA, is founder and principal of Creative Design Associates (CDA), where is responsible for overseeing the design and construction of third-party development projects as well as those of R.A.L. Companies & Affiliates, where he is director of development. Vince founded CDA in 2002, and has since grown his staff to twelve.
With more than twenty years of experience in architectural design and construction—acquired through intense involvement in a wide range of small and large-scale development projects with hospitality, retail, commercial and residential uses—Vince has been responsible for the design and construction management of more than four million square feet of space. The architect, who has been architect-in-charge for many of the New York Region’s largest commercial venues, is also actively involved in major municipal projects, including the $15.5 million renovation and revitalization of the 7.5-acre Parkwood Sports Complex of the Great Neck Park District of Long Island, NY.

360 Furman Street
Slated for completion in 2008, and at nearly one million square feet, 360 Furman Street is one of CDA's most ambitious and challenging projects to date. The building's waterfront location and adjacencies to the desirable Brooklyn Heights neighborhood and the planned Brooklyn Bridge Park stretching over one mile along New York's East River, provide an ideal context for this luxury residential building. The size, location and interrelation of diverse urban elements involved in this project required the implementation of CDA's broad pool of resources.
The building incorporates a range of housing types including waterfront townhouses, spacious lofts, and terraced penthouse residences, all of which capitalize on the sweeping 360-degree views. CDA has applied their understanding of the urban housing market, along with a strong design sensibility to create spaces that are at once inviting and high tech.
While the residences reflect the twenty-first century , the overall approach to the rehabilitation of the building is sensitive to the rich past of the Brooklyn waterfront. Echoes of the bustling waterfront shipping center that was 19th century Brooklyn are reflected in the adaptation of the structure to modern use. The building also incorporates retail and commercial uses complementary to the surrounding park and public access corridors.
Loft25
A turn of the century printing press provided the canvas for this seventy-nine unit loft conversion in the heart of Chelsea Gallery District. Innovative use of materials such as all glass kitchens and custom ceramics in the baths have become hallmarks of the building.
On the roof, a starkly modern landscape provides a tranquil setting for sunbathing by day, and transforms into an activated setting for evening events with its integrated bar and kitchen.
Sleek and modern, this chic residence offers dramatic views, both interior and exterior.
The New Yorker Condominium
The New Yorker Condominium, located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, presented the challenge of adapting a post-modern era residential building to twenty-first century luxury standards. The units were re-envisioned with an eye toward a modern aesthetic, while maintaining a sense of formal elegance expected by the target audience for this project. Over sized wood trim, and glossy hardwood floors were installed along side sleek European kitchens. Dramatic limestone flooring was paired with retro inspired luxury bath fittings. The results are at once striking and inviting.
Tower270
A former New York State office tower, 270 Broadway was converted to 98 luxury condominiums. The lavish stone and terrazzo finishes of the lobbies were preserved, and combined with modern elements and lighting effects to create a welcoming modern interior, suitable to a luxury residential building. The sprawling upper floors were subdivided into generous homes, with abundant light and air, complementing sweeping views in all directions. Custom kitchens and lavish baths complement the generous floor plans. Since its inception, Tower270 has become one of the most desirable addresses in Lower Manhattan.
25 Boadway
Originally conceived in 1920 as the headquarters and for the famed Cunard Building's deep floor plates and federal landmark status presented many unique challenges for the design team.
A portion of the Great Hall, a grand space which once served as the primary ticketing lobby for the Cunard passenger liners, would now need to serve as the point of entry for the residential tenants of the building. The solution is an elegant and intimate residential lobby stitched into the hall's existing fabric, preserving the integrity of the original design while satisfying the requirements of privacy and security for the residential tenants.
The new residential portion of the building, floors sixteen through twenty-two, include 208 spacious rental units with well appointed contemporary kitchens along with private residential amenities including meeting rooms, playrooms, and gym space. The remarkable new rooftop recreation area includes a grass sunning platform and translucent canopies providing shade to the many sitting and play areas. Focus was placed on creating a unique living experience which would set the project apart from the competition while preserving the integrity of the building's history.

Commercial
20 Exchange Place
CDA was called upon to design the resident lounge and recreation spaces for the conversion of a landmark Deco-era Manhattan skyscraper.
The lush textures and rich colors of the late deco streamline style inspired these sumptuous interiors.
86 Chambers Street
The project at 86 Chambers Street was accomplished in several phases beginning with the design and construction of the exterior facade.
CDA, in collaboration with Studio Petrarca, developed an extensive steel facade system that replaced the dilapidated and disjointed storefront typical in the immediate area. The end result unified the broad Chambers Street facade at the pedestrian level, dramatically transforming the street scape. With the success of this intervention, many building owners followed suit with their own facade restorations.
The second phase of the project included the design and fit-out of the lower seven floors of the building designated for office use. This phase included collaboration with the General Services Administration in the fit-out of four full floors for the civil division of the United States Attorney's Office as well as traditional individual client based projects for several private companies.

Recreation
Parkwood
Among the projects earmarked for improvements are the complex's Olympic-sized swimming pool and its filtration system, locker rooms, restrooms, deck, underwater lighting, handicapped access, and intermediate and kiddie pools. An Aquatic lazy river feature will be added.
Sensory Playgarden
The Playgarden will consist of different modules for varying developmental ages. The first stage of construction, planned for spring 2008, Will define the Playgarden which is located between the Great Neck house and the Senior Center just south of Arrandale Avenue and is approximately 21,000 square feet. The Playgarden is based on a journey arrival sequence, with the journey being much of the users experience. In keeping with the overall historic design intent of the Village green and its associated gardens, the Playgarden is designed in a garden style taking much of its cues from the Victorian gardens that the Greens designer was most known for. The paths and activities are surrounded by lush sensory plantings that were designed to be part of the play experience and stimulate the senses of all people using the space without creating blind spots and security issues in the green. The infrastructure of the project including defining the garden rooms and activity spaces as well as introducing play experiences will constitute the first stage of construction, with much of the 2-5 year old area and the complete Evos climbing system being installed. With the completion of this phase the existing playground will be removed and provide a space for a new Veterans Memorial for the village Green.
Village Green
CDA was chosen through a competitive RFP process to lead the design and engineering of a master plan for the renovation and rehabilitation of the Great Neck village Green. The Green, originally designed by noted landscape architect Beatrix Farrand had not had any modernizations or upgrades since the 1970’s. CDA was tasked with designing an aesthetically appropriate and electrically modern lighting and power system, proposing improvements to the path system, redefining major elements of the Green and establishing a new identity for the green in the Lives of the great neck residents.
Electrical Upgrades and Relamping- Completed 2008
Large central node and fountain element- Anticipated completion early 2009
Welcome element and grand entry- anticipated Completion 2009
The Playgarden at the Village Green- Phase 1 anticipated completion Fall 2008
The Cohan Property
In 2002 CDA was chosen to lead the design and engineering of the Cohan property extension to Stepping Stone Park. Stepping stone park, the Great Neck Park Districts most highly valued park bordered the estate of George M. Cohan and when this site was sold to developers in the early 2000s the Park district through eminent domain proceeds was able to procure the waterfront portion of it to build upon the existing Stepping stone park. CDA was charged with designing an engineering solution to a steeply sloping site that would enable people to get close to the bulkhead and enjoy the views of Manhattan and the bridges in its foreground. The design of this promenade element was to blend with the existing aesthetic of the park and build on its existing design vocabulary.

The Cohan Property
In 2002 CDA was chosen to lead the design and engineering of the Cohan property extension to Stepping Stone Park. Stepping stone park, the Great Neck Park Districts most highly valued park bordered the estate of George M. Cohan and when this site was sold to developers in the early 2000s the Park district through eminent domain proceeds was able to procure the waterfront portion of it to build upon the existing Stepping stone park. CDA was charged with designing an engineering solution to a steeply sloping site that would enable people to get close to the bulkhead and enjoy the views of Manhattan and the bridges in its foreground. The design of this promenade element was to blend with the existing aesthetic of the park and build on its existing design vocabulary.
