Overview

The Seattle architectural firm of Mithun, Incorporated, worked with BOKA Powell of Dallas to design this office building for the varied business interests of the Perot Family, whose patriarch, H. Ross Perot, Sr., (1930-2019), made his fortune building the company Electronic Data Systems (EDS), established in 1962. It was situated in Turtle Creek, a rapidly developing neighborhood three miles due north of Downtown Dallas. Mithun and BOKA Powell designed the building for Hillwood Urban, the real-estate arm of the Perot Family companies, headed in 2021 by Ross Perot, Jr.
