We help property owners accelerate tax depreciation, free up capital, and stay audit-ready by delivering an engineering-based study in a timely manner, backed by deep technical advisory and judgment, not just software output.
We work nationwide on nearly every property type, with a depreciable basis ranging from under a million to over a billion dollars. Our clients range from REITs and large real estate companies to operating businesses.
A cost segregation study reclassifies parts of a property into shorter depreciation lives, so more of the basis is deductible now rather than over 27.5 or 39 years.
Reclassify portions of 27.5- or 39-year property into 5-, 7-, and 15-year components.
With 100% bonus depreciation back, most eligible property can be fully deducted in year one.
Defer tax, reinvest the savings, and improve the after-tax return on the asset.
Cost segregation is an engineering-based analysis that breaks a building's purchase or construction cost into components and assigns each the appropriate tax depreciation life under IRS regulations, guidance, and case law. Instead of depreciating the entire building over 27.5 or 39 years, the components that qualify for 5-, 7-, or 15-year treatment are depreciated over a much shorter period.
