Cost Segregation
Find tax savings that drive your business forward. Our expertise helps unlock significant financial benefits.
Cost Segregation
Cost segregation is a specialized tax strategy which enables property owners to accelerate their depreciation. If you own real estate and are looking to maximize your ROI, we can help.
When you purchase a property, the IRS requires you to spread the tax deduction associated with the cost of the building over either 39 years (commercial) or 27.5 years (residential). Cost segregation studies, however, identify the component parts of the building (plumbing, HVAC, etc.) which enable you to deduct more of the cost in year 1. In other words, performing a cost segregation study means more cash in your pocket right now.
From office buildings and retail spaces to industrial facilities and billion dollar development projects, we have a history of delivering significant tax savings for a diverse range of clients.

When Should a Cost Segregation Study be Conducted?
A cost segregation study can be conducted at various stages of property ownership, including:
New Construction: Ideal for newly constructed buildings to maximize tax savings from the start.
Acquisition: When purchasing an existing property (even via 1031 exchange), a study can unlock significant depreciation benefits.
Renovation: After completing substantial renovations or improvements, a study can reclassify assets to reflect the new investment.
Look-Back Studies: Even if you’ve owned your property for several years, a cost segregation study can still provide retroactive tax benefits by adjusting past returns.
