WORKBENCH, a 48,000 SF mass timber office development in East Austin, was the highlight of the CREW Network Convention Tour — and for good reason. 50% equity partners women, this project is led by Jennifer Seay, Shawna Sieck, and DeLea Becker, three powerhouse entrepreneurs redefining what ownership looks like in commercial real estate.

During the CREW Hard Hat tour, attendees saw firsthand how WORKBENCH blends sustainable design, innovative construction, and female leadership to shape the next era of Austin development. Built with intention, collaboration, and courage, this project stands as a symbol of progress — proving that women aren’t just participating in commercial real estate; we’re owning it, designing it, and leading it.

During the CREW Network Convention Boat Tours on Lady Bird Lake, we’re showcasing the buildings that define Austin’s skyline — and the CREW members behind them. Submit your project and get recognized with a shout-out on the tour and on our website.
