Real property eligible for cost segregation includes buildings that have been purchased, constructed, expanded or remodeled since 1987. A study is typically cost-effective for buildings purchased or remodeled at a cost greater than $500,000. A cost segregation study is most efficient for new buildings recently constructed, but it can also uncover retroactive tax deductions for older buildings which can generate significant short benefits due to "catch-up" depreciation. Building types studied include:
• Apartment complexes
• Automobile dealerships
• Distribution centers
• Fast food restaurants
• Food processing facilities
• Gas Stations
• Hotels/motels
• Manufacturing plants
• Medical centers
• Nursing homes
• Office buildings
• Retail chains/franchises
• Shopping malls
• Self Storage
• Sports stadiums
• Amusement parks
• Supermarkets
• Casinos
