Why medical office buildings reclassify well in Georgia

Georgia anchors the Southeast with Atlanta's logistics, distribution, and Class A multifamily market. Studies often capture significant land improvements given suburban densification patterns.

Medical Office properties have a particular profile that makes cost segregation especially valuable: specialty plumbing, dedicated electrical, lab + imaging suites. The shell sits on a 39-year recovery period under MACRS — but every medical office is hundreds of components, many of which qualify for 5-, 7-, or 15-year recovery and accelerated bonus depreciation.

Typical reclassification ratio

For a medical office in Georgia, TDA studies typically reclassify 28–38% of depreciable basis. Combined with 100% OBBBA bonus depreciation on property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, that translates the entire reclassified amount into a year-one deduction.
