Multifamily cost segregation in North Carolina.

Why multifamily properties reclassify well in North Carolina

North Carolina is one of the strongest Sun Belt growth stories — with the Charlotte and Triangle MSAs anchoring heavy multifamily, industrial, and life-sciences activity.

Multifamily properties have a particular profile that makes cost segregation especially valuable: garden, mid-rise, and high-rise — landscape, parking, amenities, unit finishes. The shell sits on a 27.5-year recovery period under MACRS — but every multifamily is hundreds of components, many of which qualify for 5-, 7-, or 15-year recovery and accelerated bonus depreciation.

Typical reclassification ratio

For a multifamily in North Carolina, TDA studies typically reclassify 25–32% 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.
