That also changes the profile of the building greatly. That sign was 63 feet tall, taking the overall height of the building to 341 feet tall.
I'm sad to see it go as well. I remember seeing the sign for the first time and being shocked at how large it was.
And on the convention center hotel construction time table. Typically buildings that are over say 300 feet tall take around 2 years to complete. Of course this depends on their footprint size ultimately. Anything below 200 feet generally only takes around a year or so. Buildings up around 1,000 feet usually take 3 to 4 years to complete.
