A cost segregation engineering review of building components and site improvements was performed on a three story, 42k sq. ft. office/warehouse brewery building in Oregon.
The site improvements include incoming utilities and a dock. The building extends to the property line on all sides and therefore owns no parking lot or service lanes.
The resulting benefit included a 12.39% reclassification of 39-year depreciation class life assets on the purchase and a 19.76% reclassification of 39-year class life assets on the improvements into 5 and 15 year class lives, resulting in an total accelerated benefit of $545,696.18 in reclassified assets.

5-Year | 10.97% | $225,393.94 |
15-Year | 1.42% | $29,140.12 |
39-Year | 87.61% | $1,800,630.73 |
Total Building Cost | 100% | $2,055,164.79 |
% amounts relate to how much was reallocated from the depreciated basis |
IMPROVEMENTS Class Life | Percentage | Accelerated Benefit |
