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.

Don’t wait to be asked.
Claim your voice. Own your space. Be the damn Power Beacon.

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.

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.
