Beck-Reit’s Previous Office Will Be Razed for Mixed-Use Development

Beck-Reit & Sons Construction performed a gut renovation at 2131 Theo between 2014-2016, an adaptive reuse project that turned the aging auto repair shop into a 5-unit creative office space with shared conference room, kitchen, and lobby. The finished project was managed by Beck-Reit Asset Management and leased by Beck-Reit Commercial Real Estate until 2020, when the developers came knocking with an offer we couldn’t refuse.

Jim Rourke

Jim joined Beck-Reit at the early onset of Pandemic in 2020, and quickly put together a prominent assemblage play of 4 properties on South Lamar.

6 years ago, Beck-Reit sold one of our mixed-use propertys in East Austin and did a 1031 exchange into 2 properties. 1 was a Ferrari Repair Shop on Theo Dr. off Airport Blvd near The Mueller Development. Our full redevelopment transformed the space into 5 unique creative office spaces with a shared kitchen common area and conference room. Now, just 6 years later, the property has been picked up by Cumby Development as the last piece of a new multi-family development getting ready to break ground.

The Face of Commercial Real Estate
DeLea Becker, Owner + Broker

East Austin is forever the heart and soul of Austin. The history, community, and culture of the area have forever impacted Austin for the better. This creative culture is what draws people in today: to live, work, play, and stay.

We are thrilled to announce that our flagship redevelopment, The Otto at 1201 E Cesar Chavez, is currently hosting an exhibit for this year’s Austin Studio Tour! Given the pandemic, the 2020 Austin Studio Tour will consist of creative and mostly outdoor self-guided tours of public art. The two-week celebration features over 420 Austin-based artists and collectives presenting between November 14th and 22nd.

We are THRILLED to announce that our flagship redevelopment project has been nominated for Austin Business Journal’s 2020 Commercial Real Estate Office Development award.
