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.

Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History

It’s Women’s History Month—and we’re not just honoring the past.
We’re spotlighting the women making real-time history in commercial real estate.

Women like Allison S. Weiss, who didn’t just get frustrated—she built a platform.
Women like you, who are done waiting for permission.

Women Speak CRE isn’t a moment—it’s a movement.
A platform built to get more women on stage, in the headlines, on the mic, and at the power table.
Because we’re done with “manels.”
We’re done with excuses.
And we’re damn sure done being the only one in the room.

We’re not whispering for change—we’re demanding it.
Loudly. Proudly. Publicly.

So here’s the invitation:
If you’re a woman in commercial real estate—get on the list.
