Neither winner nor loser is talking about the changing of thetrophy's guard. TCC occupies the 34th and 37th floors in the55-story building at 2200 Ross Ave. so the fallout could empty twolevels in a play for a replacement assignment in the CBD. Sourcessay early speculation is TCC has the 1.8-million-sf Bank of AmericaPlaza at 901 Main St., now leased and managed by Cushman &Wakefield of Texas Inc., in its crosshairs.

TCC was the force that brought Chase Tower out of the ground in1987. It's now owned by Equitable-Nissei Dallas Co., a teaming ofEquitable Assurance Society and one of Japan's leading insurancecompanies. TCC has leased and managed the building since it opened.The turnover date and terms of Stream's coup weren't availablebefore press time.

The Chase Tower "opportunity" pitted TCC, Stream, CapstarCommercial Real Estate Services and Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. againsteach other. Pitches were made about three weeks ago to MorganStanley, the owner's adviser for the 85%-leased high rise.
