Women Leading the Charge in East Austin Commercial Real Estate Development

East Austin is getting a fresh new landmark at the corner of East Seventh Street and Pedernales, and it’s not your typical development project. WORKBENCH, a four-story office, retail, and restaurant space, with staggering odds that 3 of 6 equity partners are women. The three powerhouse women and equity partners: Jennifer Seay of Art + Artisans, Shawna Sieck of Legacy Lighting, and DeLea Becker of Beck-Reit Commercial Real Estate are using the development to shine a light on women in commercial real estate. This isn’t just another East Austin commercial real estate project—it's a statement on the future of women in the industry.

At the 2023 Women’s Real Estate Investor Summit hosted by Beth Azor, DeLea Becker both taught and learned alongside investors and industry leaders. In this recap, she shares three key takeaways about wealth creation through real estate, overcoming a “broke mindset,” and making confident decisions as an investor.

Affectionately known as the ‘Retail Leasing Queen,’ Beth Azor is the founder/owner of Azor Advisory Services (AAS), a commercial real estate advisory and investment firm based in Southeast Florida, and Azor Academy, a coaching platform for anyone in commercial real estate who wants to “up” their game.
