"We've Never Seen Anything Like This" - Warehousing Demand SOARS
Driving home one evening in late November I heard this NPR story perfectly surmise the current state of the warehousing market. Spoiler - it’s bonkers.
In a matter of a year, warehousing rents in some markets have doubled. New buildings and industrial parks that would normally sit vacant for months are selling space before they're even finished - with bidding wars driving up asking prices.

Burnout is a Thing, especially coming off 2020 & 2021
2020 & 2021 = Epic, Challenging, Chaotic, Booming Market & Money to Spend
2022 is a New Year, but the writing on the wall shows we are in for more of the same, particularly if you are in the Commercial Real Estate industry. There is more liquid money in the market than ever before. People are eager to Make Money and Invest Money to Protect Wealth. At Beck-Reit we could work 24/7 but to perform and be at “Top Of Our Game” we need to “Slow Down to Speed Up”.
My Date with Dodge - March to Texas High School State Championship
I am the kind of person that enjoys watching people that are phenomenal at what they do. It can be any field. One of the first experts I saw and studied was the Valley View Elementary principal, Jennifer Dusek. Another was actually Crockett's orthodontist, Kunik. Watching these people operate at incredibly high levels was mesmerizing for me, the fly on the wall. And I knew when Dodge announced his retirement that I had one season to watch the man in action
My Hero - Carrie Bobb
Big welcome to Kelly Cloud and Kate Rhodes. This is more than adding Brokers to our Company Roster - this is DeLea putting her money where her mouth is. …..
Carrie Bobb is my HERO :
#1 - I love this person. She is my Hero.
#2 - What the What? What kind of man goes to all this crazy PREMEDIATED EFFORT to do this? And then to the company doesn’t quickly Do The Right Thing?
#3 - This is Horse Shit and I am pissed.
#4 - I’ve got to go create a place that is safe for Women in Commercial Real Estate Brokerage. Not only in my Company Policy & Employee/Contractor Agreements but boots on the ground. I need to hire women, seek them out, give them a safe place at Beck-Reit. Safe from that horse shit. Women have enough to deal with keeping themselves safe from harm, they shouldn’t have to worry about it coming from their bosses. I can’t save all the women, but I can take it one “Woman Hire At a Time”.

1031 Diary: Taco Casa, 8808 Barker Cypress Road
Historically, Beck-Reit has always set its sights on value-adding projects: finding properties that we could improve with the knowledge and resources at our disposal as a General Contractor. We started small, and began using the 1031 exchange to inch our way up from one development to the next around Austin. With value added each time, our investments consistently grew. But as the years have gone on, Austin’s market has exploded - making redevelopment plays for a company our size harder and harder to come by. In light of this, and paired with the material shortages and other supply-chain breakdowns of the past couple years, we’ve turned our eyes towards safe, stable, long-term investment properties for our recent 1031-exchanges.
Congratulations to Dick Clark & Associates - 2120 E 7th St Wins Austin Business Journal 2021 CRE Award for BEST OFFICE REHAB!
It started when DeLea and Mark met for the 1st time for breakfast at Chumikals in 2017 (a favorite East Austin Joint for both) and the breakfast stretched into lunch. A couple of days later the property was toured and under contract - the rest is Award-Winning History!
The inspiring architects at Dick Clark & Associates have been rightfully recognized for their incredible office design at 2120 E 7th St - winning the Austin Business Journal’s 2021 CRE award for Best Office Rehab.
Originally an 80s pawnshop, 2120 E 7th was built like a concrete bunker with just one window and no insulation or even air conditioning for most of the space. DCA’s ground up design and construction has transformed the site into an eye-catching functional space perfect for creative office and retail needs.
Our old office building will be raised to make way 800 unit multi-family complex!
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.
'Black Artists Matter' mural painted in the heart of historic East Austin neighborhood
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
