WORKBENCH, a 50,000 SF office development breaking ground in East Austin, is proudly 50% owned by women equity partners. Led by female founders Jennifer Seay, Shawna Sieck, and DeLea Becker, WORKBENCH stands as a symbol of progress for women in commercial real estate. This sustainable, women-led project aims to inspire female investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders to reshape the future of Austin’s business landscape.

East Austin was intentionally divided by the 1928 Master Plan, pushing minorities to one side and creating a division that would last for decades. Today, it’s not just about developing properties; it’s about preserving the rich history while steering the area toward a prosperous future. This isn’t just a business for me—it’s personal. We’re not just building structures; we’re rebuilding a community, keeping its authenticity intact while guiding it through explosive growth.
