2100 Ross Avenue (simply 2100 Ross,[4] formerly San Jacinto Tower[3]) is a 33-story postmodern skyscraper located at 2100 Ross Avenue[1]/2121 San Jacinto Street[2] in the City Center District of downtown Dallas, Texas, in the United States.

In 2012, the building was bought for US$59 million by Cousins Properties, an Atlanta based real estate company.[8] In 2013, the company announced that they would renovate the building's interior.[9] The project includes lobby improvements, high-tech installations, and security upgrades.
