CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0	BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Commercial property development is a critical aspect of urbanization, serving as a backbone for economic growth and societal development. As cities expand and businesses evolve, the need for innovative strategies to develop commercial properties becomes paramount. This chapter introduces the study, outlines its background, defines its scope, and establishes the foundation for assessing modern strategies in commercial property development (Brickstone, 2019).
Housing shortage is one of the most serious developmental challenges presently confronting Nigeria. Stakeholders and industry operatives in building technology are unanimous in their opinion that the process of housing delivery in Nigeria needs a change of strategy. In this study, the researcher is examining modern ways that could be explored to meet the nation’s housing deficit, which stands around 17million units (Akeju, 2012).
Experts who gave analytical insight into the problem of housing delivery in Nigeria called for a declaration of a state of emergency in the housing sector, saying innovative thinking and modern strategies could bring about better outcomes that will enhance housing delivery process in the country. It is a known fact that financing of housing projects remained one of  the biggest problems in the sector that is against housing delivery (Akeju, 2012) believes the major issue in housing delivery is funding, getting appropriate funding. There is money flowing everywhere but the right type money needed for long-term project like housing is not available. Something that can really work for affordable housing can be like what the Federal Mortgage Bank offers which cannot go around.
Modern strategy such as Preserve Unsubsidized Affordable Housing and Protect against Displacement, Prevent Displacement from Revitalizing Neighbourhoods, Expand Assistance for People at the Bottom of the Income Ladder in housing delivery in Nigeria will reiterates the government’s priority to tackle overcrowding and the ambitious target to reduce severe overcrowding in rented housing. Alongside making funding available for larger homes, with at least higher number of bedrooms, and a long-term commitment to deliver the family sized affordable homes should be identified in a strategic plan for housing delivery (Makinde, 2014).
There are many strategies needed to facilitate massive housing delivery in Nigeria some are; modern and technologically inspired large scale housing schemes and sites with thousands of housing units which could play a significant role in the delivery of the large number of houses Nigerians need. The experience of the last 20 years suggests that the level of demand for new homes over the next decade will not be met by little incremental developments (Akeju, 2019)
In Nigeria today, there is a shortage of housing for low-income earners and constantly growing housing demands (due to increase in population) that are not met (Temi Oni-Jimoh & Gerges, 2018). Unfortunately, banks are reluctant to provide mortgage facilities to low- income earners. To solve the housing/mortgage challenges faced by the Nigeria populace, the Nigerian Mortgage Refinance Company (NMRC) was established to promote home ownership and increase the availability and affordability of mortgage loans to Nigerians. Despite the incorporation of NMRC in 2013, not much has changed. The apathy of banks towards mortgage transactions still lingers, understandably, because of the risk of default.
The commercial real estate sector has undergone significant transformations over the years, driven by globalization, technological advancements, and changing market dynamics. Modern strategies in commercial property development, such as sustainable building designs, mixed-use developments, and technology integration, have reshaped how developers approach projects. These strategies aim to optimize land use, enhance user experience, and address environmental concerns.
In the global context, urban centers such as New York, London, and Dubai exemplify the adoption of innovative property development approaches, which have led to vibrant economic zones (Smith, 2020). Similarly, in developing nations, cities like Lagos and Nairobi are beginning to embrace modern practices, albeit at a slower pace due to challenges like limited funding and regulatory bottlenecks. This study investigates these strategies' relevance and effectiveness in contemporary settings (Oluwaseyi Ajayi, 2016).
1.2	STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Despite the apparent benefits of modern strategies in commercial property development, several challenges persist. In many regions, outdated construction methods, poor planning, and inadequate integration of sustainable practices lead to suboptimal developments. These issues are compounded by economic constraints, policy inconsistencies, and resistance to innovation.
The lack of adequate infrastructure and planning frameworks often results in commercial properties that fail to meet user demands or adapt to evolving market needs (Jones, 2019). This study addresses the gap in understanding how modern strategies can mitigate such problems and enhance the overall value of commercial developments..

1.7	STUDY AREA
Taiwo Road is a prominent urban neighborhood in Ilorin, the capital city of Kwara State, Nigeria. The area is characterized by a mix of residential, commercial, and institutional land uses. It serves as a hub for various socio-economic activities, making it a significant location for real estate development. However, Taiwo Road also faces urban challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, congestion, and environmental degradation, which affect property investments.
Taiwo Road holds historical importance as one of the oldest and most developed areas in Ilorin. Named after Taiwo, a common Yoruba name often associated with twins, the road symbolizes the city's deep-rooted Yoruba heritage. Over the years, Taiwo Road has evolved from being a relatively quiet area to becoming one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city.
Geographical Location
Strategically located, Taiwo Road serves as a major link between various parts of Ilorin. It connects the central business district to other neighborhoods, making it a vital artery for transportation and commerce. Its central location also allows easy access to government institutions, markets, and residential areas.
Taiwo Road is synonymous with commercial vibrancy. The road is lined with a variety of businesses, ranging from small shops and street vendors to large supermarkets and corporate offices. It is a hub for trade, with traders offering goods such as electronics, clothing, food items, and building materials. The area is particularly known for its bustling marketplaces and informal trading zones, which contribute significantly to the local economy. Banks, hotels, and eateries are also prominent along Taiwo Road, making it a one-stop destination for various services. The road's commercial appeal attracts people from different parts of Ilorin and beyond, solidifying its reputation as an economic powerhouse.
Taiwo Road is a key transportation route in Ilorin. The road experiences heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic, especially during peak hours. Public transportation options such as taxis, buses, and motorcycles (popularly called "okada") are readily available, facilitating movement for residents and visitors alike. However, the high traffic volume often leads to congestion, particularly during market hours. The infrastructure along Taiwo Road is relatively well-developed compared to other parts of Ilorin. The road is paved and features multiple lanes in some sections to accommodate the heavy traffic. Streetlights, pedestrian walkways, and drainage systems are present, though there is room for improvement in terms of maintenance and modernization.
Several notable landmarks can be found along Taiwo Road, including schools, churches, mosques, and healthcare facilities. These landmarks make the road an important part of daily life for many residents. Taiwo Road reflects the cultural diversity of Ilorin, a city known for its blend of Yoruba, Fulani, and Nupe traditions. The road serves as a melting pot where people from various ethnic backgrounds interact, trade, and socialize. Festivals, religious events, and other social gatherings often spill over onto Taiwo Road, adding to its lively atmosphere.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1	INTRODUCTION
The evolution of commercial property development has been driven by the growing demands for sustainable urbanization, economic development, and technological advancement. This chapter reviews existing literature to explore the modern strategies applied in commercial property development, focusing on their impact on economic viability, environmental sustainability, and the adaptation of emerging trends. It also discusses theoretical and conceptual frameworks and examines empirical studies related to this topic. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the academic discourse surrounding the assessment of modern strategies in commercial property development.
Housing is, defined as buildings or other shelters in which people live, a place to live, a dwelling and to Nations, a critical component in social and economic fabric. Housing represents one of the most basic human needs. The deficit in housing could put many citizens in a precarious situation of either paying so much for an accommodation or not having a decent accommodation at all (Idaeho, 2019). It is a priority for the attainment of living standard and it is important to both rural and urban areas. These attributes make demand for housing to know no bound as population growth and urbanization are increasing very rapidly and the gap between housing need and supply becomes widens. Cultural factors such as preferences and values or social status, taste and financial resources influence physical characteristics of a house. The gap between supply and demand for housing is an issue for the government to address in order to provide housing, which is a basic need for man (Oluwaseyi Ajayi, 2016).

2.2	Conceptual Framework
2.2.1	Modern Housing Strategy
	Modern housing delivery strategies have gained prominence due to their potential to address longstanding challenges in the sector. Researchers such as Smith (2018) emphasize the role of prefabrication and modular construction in accelerating the pace of housing projects, reducing costs, and enhancing efficiency. The flexibility and customization offered by these strategies cater to diverse housing needs and preferences (Shelter Tech, 2020).
	Accessibility and affordability remain pivotal considerations in housing delivery. Modern strategies, as discussed by Hui and Chan (2019), aim to increase accessibility by streamlining construction processes and reducing project timelines. The use of advanced technologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), allows for efficient resource management and cost control, potentially translating into more affordable housing options (Kim and Kim, 2021).
	Sustainability is increasingly becoming a focal point in housing literature. Modern strategies align with the principles of sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs, and waste reduction measures. Studies by Patel et al. (2020) highlight the positive environmental impact of modular construction and how it contributes to achieving sustainability goals in the housing sector.
	Despite their promises, modern housing strategies face challenges. Davis and Song (2019) identify regulatory barriers, resistance to change, and technological adaptation as hurdles in the widespread adoption of modern methods. However, opportunities abound. Flexible financing models, as explored by Fernandez and Serrat (2018), can facilitate the implementation of modern strategies, especially in addressing housing needs for marginalized and low-income populations.
Studies highlight the importance of incorporating innovative and sustainable materials in modern housing construction to reduce environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency (Asprone et al., 2018). Strategies such as using recycled materials, green roofs, and energy-efficient designs contribute to sustainable housing solutions.
Challenges related to regulatory frameworks are identified in the literature. Stringent building codes and zoning regulations may impede the adoption of certain modern strategies. Policymakers are urged to create an enabling environment that supports innovation while ensuring safety and quality (Mahesh, 2018).
The literature underscores the importance of community engagement in the success of modern housing strategies. Studies emphasize the need for participatory approaches that consider the preferences and needs of communities, fostering a sense of ownership 
2.2.2	CONCEPT OF MODERN STRATEGIES
Modern strategies refer to the measures that can be used in the proper and sustainable delivery of housing that would curb the problems of housing shortage. If everyone could afford quality housing, and every neighbourhood offered a diversity of housing options, people up and down the income ladder could enjoy housing security and build wealth through homeownership. Achieving this vision requires more than incremental tinkering with today’s market institutions and public policies, it calls for bold action at all levels of government and in the private and non-profits sectors (The Urban Institute, 2019).
The concept of modern strategies refers to the contemporary approaches, methodologies, and tactics employed by individuals, organizations, or governments to achieve their goals and objectives in a rapidly evolving and dynamic environment. Modern strategies are characterized by adaptability, innovation, and a keen awareness of technological advancements. These strategies are shaped by the changing landscape of industries, markets, and societies. 
1.	Digital Transformation:
Modern strategies often revolve around leveraging digital technologies to enhance efficiency, connectivity, and innovation. This includes the adoption of digital platforms, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and automation to drive organizational success.
2.	Agile Methodology:
The agile methodology is a modern approach to project management and product development that emphasizes flexibility and collaboration. Agile strategies involve iterative development, regular reassessment, and quick adaptability to changes in requirements or market conditions.
3.	Data-Driven Decision Making:
Modern strategies prioritize the collection, analysis, and utilization of data to inform decision-making processes. Data-driven insights help organizations make informed choices, optimize performance, and identify emerging trends.
4.	Innovation and Creativity:
Embracing a culture of innovation and fostering creativity are essential components of modern strategies. Organizations seek to continually improve products, services, and processes to stay competitive and meet evolving customer expectations.
5.	Ecosystem Collaboration:
Modern strategies often involve collaboration within larger business ecosystems. This includes partnerships, alliances, and collaborations with other organizations, startups, or entities to create synergies and tap into complementary strengths.
In summary, the concept of modern strategies reflects the need for agility, innovation, and adaptability in the face of a rapidly changing world. These strategies incorporate technology, data, collaboration, and a forward-thinking mindset to drive success and sustainability in various domains and social sustainability (Memon et al., 2020).

2.2.3	Commercial property Development
Commercial property development refers to the process of designing, constructing, renovating, or repurposing real estate projects intended for business purposes. These properties are typically used for commercial activities such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, industrial facilities, or mixed-use developments. Below is a breakdown of the key aspects of commercial property development:
Types of Commercial Properties
1.	Office Spaces: Ranges from small office buildings to skyscrapers.
Retail Properties: Shopping centers, standalone retail stores, and big-box stores.
Industrial Properties: Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and logistics centers.
Hospitality: Hotels, motels, and resorts.
Mixed-Use Developments: Combines residential, retail, and office spaces.
Specialty Properties: Medical centers, data centers, entertainment venues, and educational campuses.
2. Development Process
a. Feasibility Study
Market Analysis: Assess demand and competition in the area.
Financial Viability: Estimate costs, revenues, and returns on investment.
Site Selection: Evaluate the location for accessibility, zoning, and infrastructure.
b. Planning and Design
Zoning and Permits: Work with local authorities to meet legal requirements.
Architectural Design: Develop plans that align with business and tenant needs.
Sustainability: Incorporate green building practices for long-term savings and environmental benefits.
c. Financing
Sources include:
Bank loans or mortgages
Joint ventures
Private equity or investors
Projections: Analyze rental income and capital appreciation for profitability.
d. Construction
Contractors: Hire general contractors and subcontractors.
Project Management: Oversee timelines, budgets, and quality.
Compliance: Ensure adherence to building codes and safety standards.
e. Leasing and Sales
Marketing: Promote the property to attract tenants or buyers.
Property Management: Maintain operations post-completion, ensuring tenant satisfaction.
2.2.4	Concept of Housing Delivery
The concept involves various stakeholders, including government bodies, private developers, non-profit organizations, and financial institutions. Here are key components and considerations related to the concept of housing delivery:
1.	Planning and Design:
•	Housing delivery begins with the planning and design phase, where urban planners, architects, and policymakers work together to create housing projects that meet the needs of the community. This involves considerations such as location, density, infrastructure, and the type of housing units to be constructed.
2.	Land Acquisition:
•	Securing suitable land for housing projects is a critical step in housing delivery. Governments and developers must navigate land-use regulations, assess environmental impact, and acquire land that is well-located and accessible to essential services and amenities.
3.	Financing and Funding:
•	Financing is a key element of housing delivery. Governments may allocate funds for affordable housing programs, and developers often secure loans or investments to fund construction projects. Financial mechanisms may include subsidies, grants, mortgage loans, or public-private partnerships.
4.	Construction and Development:
•	The actual construction and development phase involve building the housing units according to the approved plans. This phase includes coordination among contractors, architects, engineers, and other professionals to ensure that the construction meets quality standards and adheres to building codes.
5.	Affordability:
Housing delivery aims to provide affordable options for various income groups. This may involve the development of subsidized housing, low-income housing tax credits, or other mechanisms to ensure that individuals and families with different financial capacities can access housing (Ademiluyi, 2020).
2.2.5	LIST OF SOME OF THE STRATEGIES THAT CAN BE ADOPTED
Produce More Housing at Lower Cost
	Innovations in building technologies and more flexible local regulations would enable the market to deliver more housing faster and more cheaply. These solutions focus on what type of housing is built and how and where it can be built. Reforms to state and local land use regulations and building codes would allow more housing to be built where it is needed most
Reform Local Land Use Laws and Building Codes
Restrictive local land use regulations constrain housing supply and drive up housing costs. These constraints stunt local, regional, and national economic growth and widen income and wealth
Accelerate Innovation in Design and Construction
Unconventional housing designs (e.g., accessory dwelling units and micro units) and innovative construction technologies can potentially increase the range of housing options while reducing costs and sprawl.
Preserve Unsubsidized Affordable Housing and Protect against Displacement
In many communities, housing market pressures drive up rents and home prices, making housing unaffordable and pushing long-time residents out of their communities. Sometimes these pressures result from targeted investments aimed at improving the quality of distressed neighbourhoods. They can also result from gentrification, rapid growth in local jobs and population, or rising income inequality.
Preserve Unsubsidized Affordable Housing
	Only about one in five eligible households receives federal housing assistance (Kingsley 2017). Therefore, the stock of privately owned properties charging low to moderate rents plays a critical role in meeting housing needs
Provide Direct Income Supports
One strategy for tackling this challenge would be to boost household incomes by providing a universal basic income or substantially expanded earned income tax credit. In theory, this approach would ensure that all households have enough income to make housing affordable without explicitly earmarking any income for housing.

CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1	SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
This study set out to assess the modern strategies being adopted in the development of commercial properties in Kwara State, with a view to understanding their effectiveness, impact, challenges, and the prospects they offer for the future of real estate and urban growth in the state. The research employed a mixed-method approach involving both quantitative data from developers, investors, and property managers, and qualitative insights from key stakeholders in the real estate industry, including town planners, government officials, and financial institutions.
Findings from the study revealed that the commercial property landscape in Kwara State is undergoing significant transformation, influenced largely by new strategies such as public-private partnerships (PPPs), smart building technologies, sustainable design practices, flexible financing models, and digital marketing platforms. Developers are increasingly adopting technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and prefabricated construction to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
Furthermore, urban centers such as Ilorin are experiencing increased commercial property activities, driven by population growth, urbanization, and improved infrastructure. Investment in shopping malls, office complexes, hospitality buildings, and mixed-use developments reflects a broader economic shift toward modern urban planning and commercial viability.
However, the study also identified critical challenges affecting the full realization of these strategies. These include bureaucratic bottlenecks in property approval processes, inconsistent government policies, inadequate access to long-term finance, weak legal frameworks, lack of data for investment planning, and limited professional expertise in modern real estate practices.
The role of government was emphasized as pivotal in facilitating enabling environments through streamlined regulations, tax incentives, provision of basic infrastructure, and partnerships with the private sector. Additionally, awareness of emerging real estate trends among local developers and investors remains relatively low, indicating a need for professional training and capacity building.
5.2	CONCLUSION
The assessment of modern strategies for commercial property development in Kwara State shows a real estate sector in transition—one that is gradually embracing innovation, sustainability, and global best practices. The integration of modern development strategies has improved project efficiency, increased property value, and diversified investment opportunities in the commercial real estate space.
Despite these advancements, the sector still contends with foundational challenges that can hamper sustainable growth if not addressed. A coordinated effort among stakeholders—including developers, policymakers, financial institutions, and professionals—is necessary to translate modern strategies into meaningful and impactful development.
Kwara State holds substantial potential to become a real estate hub in the North Central region of Nigeria, but this will require strategic alignment between innovation, policy, finance, and human capital development. The future of commercial property development in the state lies in balancing modern approaches with local realities and challenges.
5.3	RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are offered to enhance commercial property development in Kwara State through modern strategies:
i.	The state government should streamline the land acquisition and property approval processes to reduce bureaucratic delays and attract more investors.
ii.	The government should actively promote and incentivize PPPs in commercial property development, especially in key urban areas.
iii.	Transparent frameworks for collaboration should be established to encourage long-term investments.
iv.	Real estate developers should be provided with easier access to affordable, long-term financing through specialized mortgage schemes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and government-backed loans.
v.	Real estate practitioners in the state should undergo regular training on modern tools and techniques such as BIM, green building design, and property market analytics.
vi.	Kwara State government and professional bodies should collaborate to organize workshops, seminars, and certifications in contemporary property development methods.
vii.	There must be continued investment in basic infrastructure—roads, electricity, water, and ICT—to create a conducive environment for commercial property growth.
viii.	Stakeholders should invest in digital platforms for property listing, marketing, management, and sales.
ix.	Smart technologies and environmentally sustainable designs should be integrated into all stages of commercial property development.
With the right mix of strategic planning, policy support, professional development, and innovation, commercial property development in Kwara State can become a catalyst for economic transformation and urban revitalization. The integration of modern strategies must not only focus on profits but also contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth.
