I can see and understand your points for Highland Mall, but there is also something to be said about a city not clumping all of its Hospitals in one area. I like the fact that Austin has a fairly good spread of Hospitals in different parts of the city. It gives quicker access by people that live in those areas rather than having to drive to one Hospital District like some cities have. Other than Seton, which is not that far from the Brakenridge tract, I don't believe there is another major medical center for that part of Austin. Its in a centralized location roughly give a take a few miles in the middle between Seton, UMC Brakenridge, St. Davids, and South Austin Hosptial. It would be interesting to see if there were any conceptual plans for the tract to have some sort of Medical school. That was an interesting rendering.
