Cost segregation for Columbia property investors
Planned community with Class A office and multifamily. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Columbia, 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 Columbia 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.
Maryland market context
Maryland combines federal-government demand around the DC suburbs with port logistics in Baltimore. Multifamily, medical office, and industrial dominate the cost segregation pipeline.
Every TDA Columbia study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
