Big News for Commercial Property Owners:<\/h2>\n

New Legislation Supercharges Cost Segregation Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

July 10, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n

A major legislative win for property owners includes provisions that significantly amplifies the benefits of Cost Segregation <\/strong>for commercial real estate owners.<\/p>\n

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law<\/a>, marking a significant shift in U.S. tax policy.<\/span> Among its many provisions, the law permanently reinstates 100% bonus depreciation<\/strong> for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025<\/span> .<\/p>\n

This change allows commercial real estate owners to fully deduct the cost of eligible assets in the first year, rather than depreciating them over several decades.<\/span> For owners of retail, office, multifamily, and industrial properties, this presents a substantial opportunity to enhance cash flow and reduce tax liabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation significantly amplifies the benefits of cost segregation studies.<\/span> By identifying and reclassifying components of a building into shorter depreciation schedules\u2014typically 5, 7, or 15 years\u2014property owners can now fully expense these components in the first year<\/span> . This strategy not only accelerates tax deductions but also improves return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read on to learn how this strategy works\u2014and why it may be the right time to act.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

What Is Cost Segregation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\t

Cost Segregation is the process of reclassifying a property\u2019s components into shorter depreciation categories\u20145, 7, or 15 years\u2014instead of the traditional 39-year schedule used for commercial buildings. By accelerating depreciation, property owners reduce their taxable income, resulting in significantly increased cash flow.<\/p>\n

For example, instead of deducting $102,565 per year on a $4 million building, a Cost Segregation study could unlock over $1 million in first-year depreciation when combined with bonus depreciation provisions, potentially generating $390,000 or more in tax savings in Year 1 alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
