Actual depreciation is far less than straight-line tax-code depreciation, let alone accelerated depreciation.

As with a bridge or a petroleum refinery, the periodic maintenance keeps these buildings in top condition, including a certain degree of functional obsolescence especially when this is cosmetic.

When a commercial property is razed, this is almost always the destruction of a fully functional building whose use is being intensified and the basis of the old building is included in the new one.

The exception to this are sudden changes, such as a new law relating to asbestos insulation. These are taken as a one-time charge rather than depreciation.
