The benefits of tax law-coordinated design and construction
Article Abstract:
An architect can enable a real estate investor to obtain a greater return on equity through designing architectural elements of the structure to depreciate over a specific period of time. This design technique enables the investor to take advantage of the class depreciation regulations specified in the US Code of Revenue Rulings, Title 26. The investor not only gets tax benefits but can also save on the cost of architectural elements and labor.
