About

Unlocking Capital Velocity Across an Enterprise Senior Living Portfolio

Over the past several years, CSI has performed nearly 30 projects for our client in the adult healthcare business: acquisitions, renovations, and new construction projects.

The cumulative impact:
→ $50M+ in accelerated depreciation
→ $17M in additional cash flow
→ Capital reinvested into better care and growth

Our client has a robust acquisition business model. With over a quarter of a billion dollars in assets, CSI has identified roughly 15% 5 year assets, 7% 15 year assets, and 83% 27.5 year assets across the portfolio. Bonus depreciation is nearly $40M, across the various IRS-approved appropriate levels.


All of CSI's studies were completed between 4 and 6 weeks to the full satisfaction of the client and their CPA firm. Fully supportable, documented and backed by CSI's experienced team of professionals.

What Is Cost Seg

When you acquire, construct, or renovate a commercial property, the IRS requires you to depreciate the entire structure over 39 years (or 27.5 years for residential rental). But not every component of a building is structural. Electrical systems, specialized flooring, land improvements, certain HVAC components, and dozens of other elements can legally be reclassified as personal property that's depreciable over 5, 7, or 15 years instead.

A cost segregation study identifies and documents those components, accelerating your depreciation deductions and delivering real, front-loaded tax savings.

Who Benefits

Cost segregation delivers the most value to:

  • Commercial property owners who have purchased, constructed, or substantially renovated a property

  • Real estate investors seeking to offset passive income

  • Business owners who own the building from which they operate

  • Property owners who have never had a study done on a building they've held for years (a "look-back" study can recapture missed deductions without amending prior returns)
