Cost segregation is an IRS-approved tax strategy that reclassifies components of your retail building—such as flooring, lighting, signage infrastructure, and site improvements—from the standard 39-year depreciation schedule into shorter 5, 7, or 15-year categories. This accelerates your deductions, generating significant tax savings and improved cash flow in the early years of ownership.
