Accelerated Depreciation of Commercial Property – It’s YOUR Money!
Cost Segregation is an IRS-approved application by which commercial property owners can accelerate depreciation and reduce the amount of taxes owed. This savings generates cash flow that owners often use to reinvest in the business, purchase more property, apply to their principle payment or spend on themselves.
But we at STRYDE take it one step further with our “Engineered” Cost Segregation. Our engineers break down
your building into the smallest of components, e.g. carpeting, plumbing, & light fixtures, etc. to maximize your
depreciation. Engineered Cost Segregation is the answer.
Engineered Cost Segregation for Accelerated Depreciation of Commercial Property
The study accelerates the depreciation of your building/renovation components into faster depreciation categories such as 5-,7-and 15-year rather than conventional 27.5-and 39-year schedules. Five-and 7-year items might include decorative building elements and electrical for dedicated computer equipment. Fifteen-year items might include site utilities, landscaping and paving. This engineered cost segregation study results in a much higher depreciation expense and significantly reduced taxable income for the property owner. Best of all, the IRS ruling states cost segregation can be applied to all categories of buildings purchased or built since 1986, including renovations, and there is no need to amend your tax returns. This provides for the results to be easily applied to your tax return.
“I’m Already Doing That.”

has renovations within the last 20 years of $250,000 or more, AND, has paid federal taxes with in the last 3 years,
