Drug Stores / Pharmacies
Cost Segregation Studies
Drug Stores, like other retail assets, offer significant exterior short life components. Additionally, focusing on the pharmacy section, interior short life components often exceed standard retail stores.
Our cost segregation studies identify all qualifying interior items, and focus special attention of the abundance of opportunities presented by the lighted parking areas or parking structures, signage and other relevant components.
Our studies also break out the IRS mandated Units of Property when considering the long-term components present in your building.
Our drug store studies typically pay back the cost of the cost segregation study in the range of 6 to 1 up to more than 20 to 1 in the first year of study use. Note the actual results highlighted in the table below. First year savings range from roughly $20,000 up to in excess of $60,000!
