Cost segregation for Jersey City property investors
High-rise multifamily and Class A office with very high basis. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Jersey City, 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 Jersey City 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.
New Jersey market context
New Jersey's industrial market — anchored by the Port of NY/NJ — is one of the tightest in the country. High state income tax makes federal cost segregation benefits especially valuable.
Every TDA Jersey City study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
