Cost segregation for Waukesha property investors
Milwaukee suburb with multifamily and Class A office. Whether you own a single property or a portfolio in Waukesha, 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 Waukesha 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 Waukesha study is built off engineering takeoffs, RSMeans cost data, and the IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide methodology.
