YouTube sensation Dude Perfect is moving and could be leaving Texas altogether.
The Frisco-based sports/entertainment group said it plans to leave its current home and build a new 330-foot-tall corporate headquarters and entertainment attraction, the Dallas Business Journal reported. Dude Perfect got its start on YouTube where the channel has more than 58 million subscribers.
Dude Perfect is partnering with San Antonio-based Overland Partners for the project, which could cost more than $100 million. The group, which consists of five Texas natives — Tyler Toney, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones and twins Cory and Coby Cotton — is looking into potential municipal partnerships across the country for the entertainment venue.
Coby Cotton told the outlet that they “would love for it to be nearby,” but are open to all of their options. “We’ve had a lot of interest from different cities.” Los Angeles and Atlanta are two of the cities that have reached out to the group.
Dude Perfect and Overland began working on conceptual designs for this project more than a year ago. Cotton said they expect the project to take about two years to complete after construction begins and the group will leave Frisco whenever they secure a new location.

One feature of the development will be the 330-foot tower that will serve as a “vertical expression” of the group’s trick-shot brand.
“When you can create a physical representation of what makes a brand so iconic, that’s enormously powerful,” Overland Senior Principal Bryan Trubey told the outlet.
Plans for inside the venue include three stories of attractions and a Dude Perfect museum. There will also be restaurants, merchandise, water features and outdoor attractions.
“Our vision has always been to create a destination where families could just have an absolute blast in a very unique way,” Cotton told the outlet.
In addition, the building will be surrounded by two acres of public outdoor park space.
