Building Owners & Developers

At Walker Blue, we excel in delivering strategic tax benefits to commercial property owners and developers, helping you maximize your return on investment through energy-focused tax deductions and accelerated depreciation methods. Our certification processes adhere rigorously to IRS guidelines and procedures, ensuring that you can fully leverage the available federal tax incentives.

Building owners and developers can significantly increase the value of their clean energy projects by meeting Prevailing Wage & Apprenticeship (PWA) and Domestic Content requirements under the Inflation Reduction Act. By paying workers fair wages, utilizing registered apprentices, and sourcing U.S.-made materials, projects can qualify for the full 30% Investment Tax Credit plus an additional 10% bonus. These steps not only boost ROI but also align your project with workforce and manufacturing goals supported by federal policy.

Our team is ready to partner with you to secure these tax deductions.

Cash Flow Benefits

for Commercial Building Owners

If you’re a commercial property owner who has undertaken new construction or renovations since 2006, there’s no need to wait 39 years to realize the full financial benefits of your investment. With incentives like the §179D Tax Deduction and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), you can accelerate your return, reduce your tax liability, and reinvest those savings into future projects. The ITC can cover up to 30% or more of eligible project costs for energy systems that meet labor and material standards putting capital back into your business faster.

Large Portfolio of Buildings

for Multi-property owners

When you own multiple small buildings, many §179D or ITC providers may overlook your portfolio. Not Walker Blue. Our proprietary software and streamlined processes are designed to deliver value at scale even when others can’t. Whether you’re managing a national footprint or a regional portfolio, we’re equipped to help you capture every available dollar.

Multi-Family and Home Builders

For multi-family buildings that are four stories or more, the §179D Tax Deduction offers savings of up to $5.00 per square foot, adjusted for inflation. Even partial upgrades may qualify.

And for multi-family buildings of any height, the §45L Tax Credit provides a per-unit incentive for developers who construct or substantially renovate energy-efficient dwellings. Qualifying projects may apply the credit to the year the building is placed in service and even to open prior tax years.

We provide the following services to building owners and developers:
