Leasehold improvements are generally depreciated over the lesser of the original term of the lease or the useful life of the improvements. If the lease contains an option to renew for additional years but renewal is uncertain or the likelihood of renewal is uncertain, the improvements should be depreciated over the original term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement. Expenditures for land improvements that have limited lives should be capitalized in a separate account from the Land and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Examples of land improvements include, but are not limited to, site improvements such as landscaping that has a limited life (e.g. shrubbery, flowers, trees); retaining walls, parking lots, fencing, sidewalks, sculptures, and art work.
