Cost segregation for Chesapeake property investors
Hampton Roads industrial and multifamily. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Chesapeake, an engineering-based cost segregation study reclassifies components of your building from 27.5- or 39-year real property into 5-, 7-, and 15-year MACRS class lives.
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), 100% bonus depreciation has been restored for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025 — meaning every dollar of accelerated property identified in your Chesapeake study can be deducted in year one. For a typical property in this market, that often translates to 20–35% of cost basis reclassified into shorter recovery periods.
Virginia market context
Virginia combines Northern Virginia's data-center and federal-government boom with Hampton Roads' port and military economy. Industrial, data-center adjacent, and multifamily all see heavy cost seg activity.
Every TDA Chesapeake study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
