HELPING CLIENTS THROUGH ENGINEERING-DRIVEN TAX SOLUTIONS
Capstan Tax Strategies has helped hundreds of clients through engineering-driven tax solutions. So explore the results we’ve delivered—and see The Capstan Course in action—through our library of Cost Segregation Case Studies detailed below.
01
Auto Dealership
Purchasing a vehicle online is a viable option these days, but only a small subset of the population is comfortable doing so. Many patrons begin browsing online, but most will eventually end up in a physical showroom, and that’s why dealership refreshes remain popular. Dealers are making certain that their online presence is modern, attractive, and welcoming, and they want their showrooms to evoke the same feelings.
02
Hotel
The hospitality industry has changed a lot in the past decade. Guests want to select lodging that aligns with their values, and hoteliers are making eco-friendly choices and incorporating biophilic design into new spaces. Tax strategies like cost segregation can help offset the costs of these choices, making an eco-friendly hotel into a reality.
03
Multi-Family
Renting is more popular than ever – the population of renters in U.S. cities has increased by over 30% since 2000. This has driven a commensurate increase in multifamily construction, and developers are striving to stand out from the pack. Current trends for attracting and retaining residents include time-savings services, flexible wellness zones, and pet-friendly amenities. These “extras” are attractive, but also add to a developer’s bottom line, and many seek out tax savings strategies to offset some of this initial investment.
04
Office Building
Office buildings with tenant and common areas are strong candidates for cost segregation. The combination of personal property in tenant-specific improvements, along with land improvements that accommodate the building’s parking needs, consistently result in solid first-year tax savings.
05
Retail
While there will always be a place for the traditional enclosed shopping mall, many consumers today prefer open-air shopping centers. These days convenience is key, and shoppers enjoy the ease of driving right up to their retailer of choice. Developers are heeding the call, and many have converted increasingly vacant indoor malls into bustling open-air shopping centers.
06
Restaurant
07
Self-Storage
The self-storage market has become highly competitive, with new facilities opening frequently. Owners are adding extra features to attract customers, emphasizing security and curb appeal. Naturally, owners want to ensure that they are getting the greatest possible return on these investments. Capstan has partnered with hundreds of owners and their tax advisors, collaborating to ensure maximum tax savings on self-storage facilities.
08
Treehouse
In nearly 20 years as a Cost Segregation Professional, Capstan’s Ziv Carmel thought he’d seen it all. He was wrong.
This fall, Ziv journeyed to scenic Norway, Maine, to explore The Woods Maine, a high-end custom treehouse that combines bespoke and bucolic with remarkable results. The Woods Maine is a privately-owned Luxury Treehouse designed by world-renowned Treehouse Master, Pete Nelson. The stars of Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters, Pete Nelson and Nelson Treehouse & Supply are artists who seek to make everyone feel “at home in the trees.” With The Woods Maine, they certainly succeeded.
