Cost segregation for Lafayette property investors
Energy hub with industrial, office, and multifamily. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Lafayette, 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 Lafayette 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.
Louisiana market context
Louisiana's energy, petrochemical, and port economy drives unique industrial and hospitality cost segregation work. New Orleans STRs and hotels are particularly strong reclassification candidates.
Every TDA Lafayette study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
