Taxpayer owns as multi-level concrete parking structure constructed at the cost of approximately $6 million. The property was placed in service after 1993.

I see no support whatsoever for depreciating this property over a life other than 39 years. It is apparent that the parking structure is simply nonresidential real property. Absent a special ruleand I find no such rulenonresidential realty must be written off over a period of 39 years.
