I've had a nice view of the Empire Landmark for many years. It may not be pretty but it is a landmark. I think the bright neon signage that the current owner/operator placed on the roof is a bit tacky. I liked the simple ring of lights it had before. I was quite surprised to learn that it may be demolished. Came across this tower being built in Kozhikode (Calicut) India & immediately thought of the Empire Landmark. It
might be a more appropriate design to replace the Landmark if one was to replicate it today. Of course this is not what the current owner has in mind. Not quite sure what to think of the current replacement other than "yawn".
