Tax strategy & fixed-asset support
Engineering-backed records for every asset you own.
A building is not one asset for tax purposes: its components depreciate over 5, 7, 15, 27.5 or 39 years depending on what they are and what they serve. Green Summit connects acquired, improved and retired assets to engineering-backed records your tax team can evaluate and defend.
- Licensed engineering firm
- In-house CPAs
- Engineered substantiation, not estimates
- Audit-ready documentation
What we offer building owners, investors & operators
Engineering-Based Cost Segregation
We turn property detail into a defensible cost analysis for acquired, constructed and renovated properties, prepared alongside your tax advisor.
Fixed-Asset Reviews
Make the asset record match the property. We review fixed-asset detail, cost allocations and supporting records before technical questions become reporting problems.
Hospitality Cost Segregation
Lodging, food service, amenities and operating infrastructure, reflecting the ownership or franchise arrangements behind them.
Industrial & Warehouse Cost Segregation
We distinguish general building systems from equipment and infrastructure serving a particular operation — the distinction a supportable analysis turns on.
Medical & Healthcare Facilities Cost Segregation
We analyze integrated building and clinical systems by operational function, within access, infection-control and documentation constraints.
Multifamily Cost Segregation
Repetition is not documentation: the study covers the actual construction and function of every unit, amenity and site component.
Office Buildings Cost Segregation
We separate generations of tenant build-outs from the current asset record and evaluate each component by what it serves.
Partial Asset Disposition Studies
Document what was removed, not just what was installed, so your advisor can review a potential disposition while the evidence exists.
Repair vs. Capitalization Support
Engineering and cost analysis built on project-specific facts, giving your advisor's repair-or-improvement decision a stronger technical foundation.
Retail & Strip Centers Cost Segregation
We reconcile different tenants, improvement histories and ownership responsibilities rather than apply one allocation across every suite.
Section 179D for Building Owners
For taxable owners with efficient HVAC, lighting or envelope systems: we screen project dates first, then coordinate engineering analysis and certification with your tax advisors.
Senior & Assisted Living Cost Segregation
Residential, hospitality and healthcare functions combine here; classification and recovery periods follow the actual use, services and ownership.
Specialty Asset Classes Cost Segregation
We evaluate atypical properties by function, construction and evidence — especially systems that combine structural and operational roles.
How we work with your team
Screen before we study,
and tell you plainly when a study is not worth doing.
Coordinate with your CPA.
Accelerated depreciation is not automatically cash; your advisor determines elections, method changes and the return position, and we never present a deduction as a guaranteed cash return.
Trace every classification to source records,
audit-ready from day one.
