🚧 CCIM Hard Hat Tour: From Timber to Term Sheets
We’re excited to welcome Central Texas CCIM to East Austin for an exclusive look inside WORKBENCH — a 48,000 SF mass timber office development changing how Austin builds, owns, and designs.
Hosted by Beck-Reit Commercial, this tour dives into the intersection of sustainability, ownership, and collaboration.
💡 What Makes WORKBENCH Different, Better, Special
This isn’t your average spec office.
It’s 48,000 SF of mass timber, design thinking, and partnership equity — built by six local owners who decided to invest, not just lease.
We’re building the new model for small-scale, sustainable development:
➡️ Carbon-storing structure (500+ metric tons of CO₂ saved)
➡️ Locally owned, locally financed, and locally designed
➡️ A one-stop hub for developers, designers, and builders under one roof
And yes — the 3rd floor still has a few office spaces available.
We’re looking for the right tenants to complete the design ecosystem: architects, engineers, creatives, or anyone who builds the built environment.
🧠 What CCIM Attendees Will Learn
CCIM members are the dealmakers — the brokers, developers, investors, and lenders who turn projects into performance.
Here’s what they’ll see firsthand:
- How mass timber is reshaping Austin’s construction landscape (and lowering embodied carbon).
- Why ownership models like this one create long-term value and flexibility for small developers.
-How women-led capital partnerships are quietly rewriting the Austin skyline.
🎯 Why It Matters
East Austin isn’t slowing down — and neither are we.
With $28B+ in public projects underway across the city, from the airport to I-35, this corridor represents the future of creative commercial space in Austin.
We’re proud to host our The CCIM Institute friends this week — show off East Austin — and raise a glass after the tour at Lazarus Brewing.
Come for the education.
Stay for the inspiration.
Leave with a new way to think about ownership.
Stay for light bites and happy hour at Lazarus Brewing (5:30–7:30 PM).
