Cost segregation for Denver property investors
Largest market — multifamily, office, and industrial studies dominate. Newer downtown product reclassifies near 25–30%. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Denver, 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 Denver 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.
Colorado market context
Colorado combines strong population growth with a highly attractive STR market in mountain resort areas. Cost segregation activity is heavy on Front Range multifamily, Denver-area industrial, and resort STRs in Summit, Eagle, and Pitkin counties.
Every TDA Denver study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
