Cost segregation for Madison property investors
UW and biotech-driven multifamily, lab, and medical office. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Madison, 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 Madison 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.
Wisconsin market context
Wisconsin combines Milwaukee's industrial and adaptive-reuse market with Madison's university and biotech economy. Multifamily, industrial, and medical office are most active.
Every TDA Madison study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
