Dear Investors,
We’ve got exciting news on two fronts—tax legislation and investor sentiment—both pointing to renewed momentum in commercial real estate.
✅ 100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back
On January 19, 2025, the House Ways and Means Committee passed a bill reinstating 100% bonus depreciation for qualified assets placed in service between now and 2029. This powerful tax incentive allows investors to deduct the full cost of eligible assets—like flooring, appliances, landscaping, and improvements—in the year they’re purchased instead of spreading the deduction out over several years.
For syndications and cost segregation strategies, this can significantly increase first-year tax deductions and improve overall investor returns.

📊 CBRE’s 2025 Investor Survey: CRE Confidence Is Growing
According to CBRE’s newly released 2025 U.S. Investor Intentions Survey, investors are more optimistic about commercial real estate than they were a year ago. Here are some key takeaways:
Multifamily remains the top target sector for investors in 2025, especially workforce housing and value-add opportunities.
More investors are moving off the sidelines, driven by stabilizing interest rates and improving clarity in asset valuations.
Sun Belt and secondary markets continue to attract strong interest due to job growth and population migration.
50% of respondents plan to increase investment volume in the second half of 2025 compared to 2024.
In other words: smart money is reentering the market—and the tax code just gave it an extra boost.
