Cost Segregation Studies

Accelerate Depreciation.
Unlock Cash Now.

Cost Segregation is one of the most powerful — and most underutilized — tax strategies available to commercial property owners. Most clients recover six figures in their first year alone.

$50K – $500K+ Typical First-Year Savings
Up to 98:1 ROI on Study Fees
100% IRS-Compliant, Audit-Ready Reports

Turn your building into
immediate tax savings.

When you purchase or construct a commercial property, the IRS allows you to depreciate it over 39 years. But not everything in a building depreciates at the same rate — and that's where Cost Segregation comes in.

A Cost Segregation study is a detailed engineering analysis that reclassifies building components — electrical systems, plumbing, flooring, landscaping, and more — into shorter depreciation categories of 5, 7, or 15 years. The result is significantly larger deductions in the early years of ownership, putting real cash back in your pocket now instead of decades from now.

  • Immediate cash flow improvement Larger deductions in year one means less tax owed now — money you can reinvest in your business or property.
  • Works on new and existing properties Retroactive studies can capture missed deductions going back to 1987 — no amended returns required.
  • IRS-approved methodology Every study follows IRS audit technique guidelines and is fully documented and defensible.

Is your property a
good candidate?

Cost Segregation works best for commercial and investment properties valued at $500K or more. Here are the most common property types we study.

🏢

Office Buildings

Owner-occupied or leased office space — one of the most common and highest-ROI candidates for cost segregation.

🏪

Retail & Strip Centers

Shopping centers, strip malls, and mixed-use retail properties with significant tenant improvement buildouts.

🏭

Industrial & Warehouse

Manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and flex-industrial properties — often the highest deduction per square foot.

🏨

Hotels & Hospitality

Hotels, motels, and short-term rental properties with high component counts yield some of the largest reclassification percentages.

🏠

Multifamily & Apartments

Apartment complexes and condo buildings where accelerated depreciation dramatically improves investor after-tax returns.

🏥

Medical & Healthcare

Medical offices, dental practices, and outpatient facilities with specialized equipment installations and buildouts.
