Cost segregation studies allow property owners to accelerate depreciation and increase cash flow by reclassifying certain property components. But not all properties benefit equally from cost segregation. Commercial, industrial, and multifamily properties generally offer the highest returns. Here’s why these property types are prime candidates for cost segregation.

Cost segregation involves identifying different components of a property that can be depreciated over a shorter period than the standard 27.5 or 39 years for residential and commercial real estate. By accelerating depreciation, property owners can lower their taxable income and unlock substantial tax savings in the early years of property ownership.
The reason commercial, industrial, and multifamily properties provide the best return on cost segregation is due to their complexity and scale. These property types often include a wide range of assets, such as tenant improvements, equipment, and specialized systems, that can be reclassified for faster depreciation. The larger the property and the more assets it has, the higher the potential for significant tax savings.
Additionally, these properties often undergo major renovations or improvements, which also open the door to accelerated depreciation opportunities. The sheer volume of depreciable assets in these properties makes them the most profitable candidates for cost segregation studies.
While cost segregation can benefit a variety of properties, commercial, industrial, and multifamily buildings offer the highest return. These property types typically contain the most diverse and valuable assets that can be depreciated at an accelerated rate. By conducting a cost segregation study on these properties, owners can maximize their tax savings and improve cash flow in the short term.
