Starbucks buildings are great to study for cost segregation. The 5 year class life is better than most retail buildings. If it's a newer developed building, often times the 15 year class life (land developments) are also significant leading to great tax savings for the owners of these commercial buildings.

Cost segregation is a terrific strategy for any commercial building owner. New retail development tends to do quite well we are finding especially in part because of the land improvements to develop the property. New retail buildings for Starbucks for example are excellent for cost segregation.

With a new Starbucks not only do you tend to see great numbers from the 15 year class life category but also in the 5 year as well as the stores tend to be finished nicely.
