Illustrative estimate. Final allocations vary based on property facts and report findings.

A $1.5M industrial property is typically a 10,000-20,000 SF warehouse or flex space in markets like Memphis, Kansas City, or the Inland Empire. Industrial buildings are often underestimated for cost segregation potential.
The 15-year category is particularly strong for industrial: truck courts, loading dock equipment, heavy-duty fencing and gates, site paving, drainage systems, exterior lighting for security, and yard improvements. The 5-year category includes office buildout, specialized electrical, and compressed air systems.
At the 37% bracket, $326,250 in accelerated deductions generates $149,850 in year-one tax savings. The $1,495 study cost delivers an 81x return.

Extensive site improvements: truck courts, loading docks, heavy-duty paving, security fencing, yard lighting. These 15-year components often represent 12-15% of depreciable basis.
Yes. Even a basic warehouse has reclassifiable components: concrete truck court, parking lot, fencing, site lighting, HVAC, electrical panels, and any office buildout.
