Experience: Cost Segregation

Retail Clothing Store

The Concord Group was able to provide significant tax savings to both the tenant and property owner by performing a complete engineering based Cost Segregation Study on this high-end retail clothing store, comprised of a two-story, 29,000 SF property located on a 3-acre site in Michigan. Our engineering based team segregated the assets that were acquired and constructed by the owner and the assets that were newly constructed by the tenant into shorter life property, resulting in a reduction of the owner’s tax liability.

Commercial Office

Our client, an investment company, purchased a multi-unit office building located in a suburb of Illinois. The three-story building is approximately 86,500 SF in size and is situated on a 5.4-acre site. The owner made multiple typical tenant improvements to the property between 1998 and 2013.

Restaurant

The property was purchased in the downtown area of Chicago, Illinois and the interior of the building was completely remodeled for a bar/restaurant. The tenant improvements for the bar/restaurant were completed in April, 2007. The property is located on the ground floor and basement of a six story building and is approximately 11,525 SF in size. Construction included renovations to the bar, flooring, kitchen, and seating areas on both levels. We performed a Cost Segregation Study on the tenant improvement assets only and not the acquisition of the property, due to the complete renovation of the interior spaces.

Manufacturing Facility

We performed a Cost Segregation Study for our client – an automobile rubber mats and guards manufacturer. Their office and manufacturing facility, located in Illinois, was originally constructed to be 120,420 SF in size and is situated on a 9-acre site. In 2013, the building was expanded by approximately 55,460 SF increasing the total size of the building after expansion to 175,789 SF made up of office, warehouse and manufacturing space. The original facility was placed into service in November, 2004 and the new addition was placed into service in December, 2013.
