Background of the Study
Commercial real estate investment refers to the allocation of capital into the development, acquisition, or improvement of commercial properties such as office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. In Nigeria, commercial real estate has become a significant sector in the economy, contributing to urbanization, job creation, and economic diversification (Abdulrazaq & Haruna, 2023). In Kwara State, an emerging commercial hub in Nigeria's Middle Belt, commercial real estate investments are driving economic development by stimulating infrastructure growth, creating employment opportunities, and promoting trade and business activities.

Kwara State has seen a rise in the development of commercial real estate projects, including malls, office spaces, and mixed-use developments, which have the potential to transform local economies. These investments attract both local and foreign investors, contributing to economic growth through enhanced business activity and improved infrastructure (Nuhu & Umar, 2024). However, despite the growth in commercial real estate, the extent to which such investments contribute to broader economic development in Kwara State is not well-documented. This study seeks to examine the impact of commercial real estate investment on the economic development of Kwara State, with a particular focus on how commercial property investments affect job creation, infrastructure development, and local business growth.

Statement of the Problem
While commercial real estate investments are often seen as catalysts for economic development, there is limited empirical evidence on their actual impact in Kwara State. The rapid growth of commercial properties in the state raises questions about how these investments contribute to local economic development, particularly in terms of employment opportunities, infrastructure improvement, and local business growth. Without understanding the specific contributions of commercial real estate investments to Kwara's economy, it is challenging for policymakers to design strategies that leverage these investments for long-term economic sustainability. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the effect of commercial real estate investments on economic development in Kwara State.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To assess the impact of commercial real estate investment on job creation in Kwara State.
  2. To examine the effect of commercial real estate investment on infrastructure development in Kwara State.
  3. To analyze the role of commercial real estate investment in the growth of local businesses in Kwara State.

Research Questions

  1. How do commercial real estate investments contribute to job creation in Kwara State?
  2. What is the effect of commercial real estate investment on infrastructure development in Kwara State?
  3. How does commercial real estate investment influence local business growth in Kwara State?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Commercial real estate investments significantly contribute to job creation in Kwara State.
  2. Commercial real estate investments positively impact infrastructure development in Kwara State.
  3. Commercial real estate investments lead to growth in local businesses in Kwara State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on the impact of commercial real estate investment on economic development in Kwara State, particularly in Ilorin, the state capital. The study will examine commercial real estate projects such as office buildings, malls, and retail centers. It will not focus on residential real estate or other sectors outside commercial real estate. A limitation of the study is the potential difficulty in obtaining data on the full range of economic impacts of commercial real estate investments, including informal business sectors.
