Commercial cost segregation across Orlando.
For commercial and multifamily property from the I-4 corridor and Lake Nona to the Research Park and the airport, our team prepares the study from your records, your photos and, when it would improve the study, a video walkthrough of the property with you at no charge. Most commercial studies are delivered within about two weeks.
Cost segregation for Orlando commercial property
Orlando is one of the fastest-growing large metros in the country, and its commercial property is younger and more site-heavy than most. The I-4 corridor is Central Florida's distribution spine, reaching most of the peninsula within hours; Lake Nona's Medical City is a purpose-built health and research cluster; the Research Park by UCF anchors one of the world's largest simulation, defense and photonics clusters; and a fast-growing, amenity-rich garden-apartment stock rings the metro. One Central Florida fact runs through all of it: the flat, sandy, high-water-table terrain forces engineered stormwater — retention ponds, drainage and exfiltration — onto essentially every parcel, and that infrastructure is generally treated as shorter-life land improvement rather than land.
A cost segregation study identifies the parts of a property that qualify for 5-, 7- or 15-year depreciation instead of the default 39 years (or 27.5 for residential rental), moving deductions earlier in your ownership. On Orlando commercial property, the components that carry the most value — retention and drainage, dock and process equipment, medical and lab build-out, and the pools, parking and landscaping of an apartment community — are the ones hardest to see in a closing file, which is why we walk the property with you on a video call when it would improve the study. Most studies are delivered within about two weeks once we have your records.
Find your market and property type
Warehouse & logistics
Central Florida distribution from Lake Nona and the airport to Apopka and the Polk County edge — truck courts, dock equipment, and the retention ponds and drainage a Central Florida site carries.
Medical & research
UCF Medicine, the VA and Nemours — exam and lab casework, medical-gas and imaging power, backup generation, and the tenant build-out that carries the value.
Multifamily
Fast-growing garden communities — resort-style pools and decks, surface parking, tropical landscaping, and the retention and drainage a Central Florida parcel carries.
Industrial & flex
Simulation, defense and photonics flex by UCF — specialty and high-amp power, dedicated cooling, lab and test casework, and the heavy interior build-out that carries the value.

What an Orlando commercial study looks like
Representative engine outputs on modeled buildings — "accelerated" is the share of depreciable basis moved into 5-, 7- and 15-year property instead of the 39- or 27.5-year class. Moderate Central Florida land shares keep depreciable basis healthy. Your result depends on the property; each page shows the full component detail behind its number.
Common accelerated assets on an Orlando commercial property
Before we ask for anything, here is the kind of component an engineered study separates out and reclassifies — much of it site work and equipment a closing file never describes:
- Retention ponds & drainage
- Truck courts & loading docks
- Pools, decks & amenities
- Parking, carports & paving
- Backup & emergency power
- Medical & lab build-out
- Specialty & high-amp power
- Tropical landscaping & irrigation
- Security & low-voltage systems
- Tenant improvements & finishes
How the virtual site visit works
On Orlando commercial property the components that carry the most value, such as retention ponds and drainage, dock and process equipment, medical and lab build-out, and the pools, parking and landscaping of an apartment community, are the ones a closing file never captures. When a walkthrough would improve the study, we do it with you on a video call, about 30 to 45 minutes, at no charge. Our team decides when it would help; it is not something you need to order.
Here is what happens: you walk the property with your phone while our analyst directs the camera to the components that matter, and our team prepares your study from that walkthrough together with your records and photos. Most commercial studies are delivered within about two weeks once we have your records. An in-person visit is available by quote; see how site visits work. Where records already support the components at issue, our remote engagement model applies and costs less.
