CASE STUDIES

Cost Segregation for Multi-Family Portfolio

Engineering-based cost segregation studies across a commercial real estate portfolio identified building components eligible for accelerated depreciation schedules.

The Challenge

A real estate investment group owned multiple commercial properties but had never conducted cost segregation studies. Their entire portfolio was being depreciated over standard 39-year timelines, leaving significant potential tax savings unclaimed through accelerated depreciation.

Our Strategy

Tributan performed engineering-based cost segregation studies across the portfolio, reclassifying qualifying building components into 5-year, 7-year, and 15-year recovery periods. Each study was fully documented and IRS-audit ready.

Component Analysis Detailed engineering analysis of all building components to identify those qualifying for accelerated depreciation schedules.

Reclassification Moved qualifying assets from 39-year to 5, 7, and 15-year recovery periods per IRS guidelines.

Documentation Comprehensive engineering reports prepared for each property, fully audit-ready.
