Don't expect a similarly quick outcome with Highland. Its access to downtown is fairly poor compared to the Concordia site, and its transit access anywhere is poor compared to the Triangle (and always will be, commuter rail doesn't actually go anywhere good, remember?)
The bus transfer center there exists because the mall was a big chunk of parking lot / internal roadways that didn't mind Cap Metro coming in, not because it's particularly easy to get from Airport/2222 to anywhere (ironically, the commuter rail line itself is the biggest barrier - it's actually quite a PITA to get from one side of Airport to the other; and it takes a substantively long time to get up there on the bus unless you're on one of the lines that uses Airport itself). If we were picking bus transfer centers based on actual logic and could make the property owner play ball, the Triangle would be where it's at, actually.
