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.

East Austin:

In many ways, development has displaced the cultural arts traditions of East Austin, long the home of the city’s Black community. Now, its champions — Black artists, creatives and community leaders — are working to restore that soul.

Capitol View Arts and the Austin Justice Coalition, with support from local artists and dozens of volunteers from the Austin area, painted a ‘Black Artists Matter’ mural on East 11th Street the morning of Thursday, June 18 2021. #BlackArtistMatter

Here, DeLea shares where and why she sees inflation creeping into the market, how inflation interacts with typical investment vehicles, and how Commercial Real Estate is one of the best places to safeguard wealth against it.

"Everyone in this room right now should feel extremely lucky working in this city"

On June 23rd, DeLea Becker spoke alongside fellow Commercial Real Estate Experts at the REDNews 2021 Summit Retail panel about opportunities and trends of the Austin Market.

Texas #WinterStorm21 pushed the nation #Bizwomen #MentoringMonday to Monday March 8th in Austin, which happened to be International Women’s Day. So, our Owner/Founder DeLea Becker kicked of the day meeting with over 100 Women In Business seeking advice, guidance, and mentorship from Women in Business who are experts in their field.

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.

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.
