As for Trammel Crow building anything in the next five years on the BofA site, that is a huge long shot IMO. Zero demand for what they are touting unless they score a big company wanting to relocate.
If I were a huge company wanting to relocate and build a tower in a great area, I'd be calling up Harwood, not TC.
South Asia is a unique and diverse region of the world. It consists of the modern nation-states of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka; sometimes Myanmar (Burma) and Tibet are included on this list. South Asia is home to one-fifth of the world's population; India alone has more than 1.2 billion citizens, making it the world's largest democracy. The diversity of languages, dialects, and scripts in South Asia is vast; there are currently more than 780 languages and dialects spoken in India. Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, four of the world's major religious traditions, developed on South Asian soil, and Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have been practiced in the region for more than a millennium. South Asia's rich resources and geographical location have attracted merchants, pilgrims, scholars, marauders, armies, and aspiring rulers since the time of the Indus Valley civilization (ca. 2500-1700 BCE). During the more than 4,000 years of documented history, South Asians have made significant contributions to humanity in the areas of mathematics, science, philosophy, spiritual practices, art and architecture, and political thought.

If they build a connector from the park to the Perot tower could they also extend that to the Asian museum? It would obviously be trickier but maybe not impossible.

If this is the BofA location at Field and Woodall Perot has that property not TC.

Why not just widen the sidewalks on field st? Remove that stupid off ramp & create walking infrastructure.

Two errors on your map:
- the green is also Headington; and
- the block bounded by Ross, Field and San Jacinto is also Headington, all the way down to but excluding the YMCA at Akard.
I thought there was to be an iconic building included in this development.

...The design draws on the rich history of South Asian architecture and the form of the famous Banyan tree to create an inviting, open structure that encourages the public to explore exhibitions focused on South Asia’s diverse cultural and artistic heritage, which spans over 4,000 years of documented history. The exterior is wrapped in a screen of delicate steel pipes interwoven with hanging plants that filter light into the building and gather the museum, learning center, cafe, and office spaces into a cohesive whole....

And if CCAAM is now there it might explain the absence of an "iconic tower" as noted above. Screen Shot 2017-11-20 at 10.55.55 AM.png
