This amendment to Trammell Crow Company’s (“TCC”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2006 (the “Form 8-K”), amends and restates Item 9.01 of the Form 8-K to replace with correct forms the (i) form of First Amendment to Performance Unit Award Agreement under the TCC Long-Term Incentive Plan, by and between TCC and each of E. Stevenson Belcher, William F. Concannon, James R. Groch, Matthew S. Khourie, Michael J. Lafitte, Derek R. McClain, Diane S. Paddison, T. Christopher Roth, John A. Stirek, and Robert E. Sulentic (collectively, the “Performance Unit Award Recipients”), and (ii) form of First Amendment to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement under the TCC Long-Term Incentive Plan, by and between TCC and each of E. Stevenson Belcher, William F. Concannon, James R. Groch, Matthew S. Khourie, Michael J. Lafitte, Derek R. McClain, Diane S. Paddison, T. Christopher Roth, John A. Stirek, and Robert E. Sulentic (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Award Recipients”), which were filed as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6 to the Form 8-K, respectively.  The attached Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6 supersede and replace the previously filed Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6 in their entirety.  No other information included in the Form 8-K is amended hereby.

On October 30, 2006, TCC, CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (“CBRE”) and A-2 Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into TCC, with TCC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE.  The proposed merger will be submitted to TCC’s stockholders for their consideration, and TCC will file with the SEC a definitive proxy statement to be used by TCC to solicit the approval of its stockholders for the proposed merger.  TCC may also file other documents concerning the proposed merger.  You are urged to read the proxy statement regarding the proposed merger when it becomes available and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to the proxy statement, because they will contain important information.  You will be able to obtain a free copy of the proxy statement, as well as other filings containing information about TCC, at the SEC’s Internet Site (http://www.sec.gov) or directly from TCC by contacting Investor Relations at ir@trammellcrow.com, or by mail at Investor Relations, 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 3400, Dallas, Texas 75201, or by telephone: (214) 863-3020.

TCC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of TCC in connection with the proposed merger. Additional information regarding the interests of those participants may be obtained by reading TCC’s proxy statement for its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2006, and the proxy statement regarding the proposed merger when it becomes available.
