Why industrial properties reclassify well in Texas

Texas has no state income tax and is the largest U.S. state for new commercial construction. Heavy industrial, multifamily, energy-sector, and hospitality activity make it the largest single state for cost segregation engagements.

Warehouse & Industrial properties have a particular profile that makes cost segregation especially valuable: distribution and manufacturing — racking, paving, dedicated process electrical. The shell sits on a 39-year recovery period under MACRS — but every warehouse & industrial is hundreds of components, many of which qualify for 5-, 7-, or 15-year recovery and accelerated bonus depreciation.

Typical reclassification ratio

For a warehouse & industrial in Texas, TDA studies typically reclassify 15–22% 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.
