Join the Central Texas Commercial Association of REALTORS® for a special CTCAR Happy Hour + Property Tour at Workbench, a $30+ million mass timber commercial development in the heart of East Austin.

Hosted by DeLea Becker + Michelle Anderson - 2 past CTCAR PresidentS, this event brings the brokerage, development, investment, and commercial real estate community together for an inside look at one of East Austin’s most exciting new projects.

Workbench is more than a building.

It is a statement.

A statement about where East Austin has been, where it is going, and what smart, patient, long-term commercial real estate investment can create when vision meets grit.

About the Event

CTCAR members, commercial brokers, investors, developers, property owners, and industry professionals are invited to tour Workbench, a modern mass timber office, retail, and restaurant development located in East Austin.

The evening will include:

  • Happy hour networking

  • Guided property tour

  • Inside look at Workbench’s design, development, and leasing vision

  • Conversation with DeLea Becker on East Austin, ownership, development, and what is next

  • Commercial real estate community connection in one of Austin’s most watched growth corridors

For DeLea Becker, this is a full-circle moment.

As a past president of CTCAR, DeLea has spent decades in the Central Texas commercial real estate market as a broker, landlord, developer, owner, investor, and East Austin advocate. Hosting CTCAR at Workbench brings together the professional organization she helped lead with the kind of project she has spent her career building toward.

About Workbench East Austin

Workbench is a $30+ million mass timber commercial development located in East Austin, designed for modern office, retail, restaurant, and community-driven commercial uses.

Set in one of Austin’s most dynamic urban markets, Workbench reflects the next generation of commercial real estate: thoughtful design, strong street presence, flexible space, elevated materials, and a deep connection to the neighborhood around it.

With its mass timber structure, modern architecture, and East Austin location, Workbench represents the evolution of commercial development in Austin — from traditional office and retail into a more intentional, experience-driven, high-quality built environment.

This is the kind of project that does not just sit on a street.

It changes the street.

DeLea Becker: Developer, Investor, and East Austin Commercial Real Estate Leader

DeLea Becker has been working, investing, leasing, selling, owning, and developing commercial real estate in East Austin for more than two decades.

As the founder of Beck-Reit Commercial Real Estate, DeLea built her reputation as one of East Austin’s most recognized commercial real estate voices. She has represented owners, tenants, landlords, developers, and investors across office, retail, land, industrial, and mixed-use commercial assets.

But Workbench represents a bigger chapter.

This project is part of DeLea’s continued evolution from brokerage leadership into long-term ownership, development, asset management, and family office investment strategy.

In other words: this is the #4ward move.

Moving #4ward: From Brokerage to Ownership, Development, and Family Office Strategy

The Workbench property tour comes at an important moment for Beck-Reit.

After years of building one of Austin’s most visible boutique commercial real estate platforms, DeLea Becker is moving #4ward into a new phase focused on:

  • Long-term commercial real estate ownership

  • Asset management

  • Development strategy

  • Family capital growth

  • Investment discipline

  • Wealth creation, protection, and legacy planning

Workbench is one of the best physical examples of that transition.

It shows what happens when experience in brokerage, leasing, tenant demand, East Austin land patterns, ownership strategy, construction understanding, and long-term investment thinking all come together in one project.

This is not theory.

This is the dirt, the risk, the capital, the building, the lease-up, the decisions, and the execution.

And that is where real commercial real estate knowledge lives.

Why This Tour Matters

Commercial real estate is best understood in the field.

You can study market reports all day long, but standing inside a $37 million East Austin development tells a different story.

At Workbench, attendees will see:

  • How mass timber is being used in modern commercial development

  • How East Austin continues to mature as a commercial real estate market

  • How design, leasing, ownership, and capital strategy connect

  • How developers think through risk, tenant demand, location, parking, visibility, and long-term value

  • How a project moves from concept to construction to market positioning

  • How DeLea Becker’s East Austin experience shaped her development and investment perspective

For brokers, this is a chance to understand the product.

For investors, this is a chance to understand the strategy.

For developers, this is a chance to study execution.

For owners, this is a chance to see what long-term vision looks like when it finally becomes bricks, timber, glass, steel, sweat, and money.

A lot of money.
