Known For

Career and Focus

Woods spent years at Hillwood, the Perot family real estate company, where he worked on investments and development in Dallas. His career later moved into independent platforms: he founded Woods Capital and Pacific Elm Properties, building portfolios of commercial and mixed-use assets in downtown and Uptown. Pacific Elm’s work included the redevelopment of Santander Tower, formerly Thanksgiving Tower, which involved repositioning a major downtown office building and its amenity offering. In 2025 Woods named Billy Prewitt as his successor in the CEO role at Pacific Elm and shifted his focus to new projects.

Woods subsequently co-founded 3-O Real Estate Partners, where he serves as a partner and CEO. The firm’s leadership profile identifies a focus on real estate investment and development, drawing on the principals’ experience across Texas markets. This sequence shows Woods moving from institutional development at Hillwood to independent investment and repositioning. The succession at Pacific Elm is a separate change from his 3-O position; sources identify Prewitt as Pacific Elm CEO, while Woods remains active at 3-O. His public profile and project activity are concentrated in the Dallas-Fort Worth market rather than a national operating platform.
