Aliyu Balarabe, Jummai Saratu Abubakar, and Muhammad Sani Burodo

ABSTRACT
The place of accommodation in boosting business has been established by both extant and empirical literature. As a major universal infrastructure for production, different factors notably the decision to lease and purpose of use of buildings in addition to prevailing economic realities (monetary and fiscal policies) to mention but a few, have contributed to shaping pattern of occupation and utilization of buildings all over the world. Using PLS in the context of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), this research has established that both formative and reflective variables interacted to produce significance in the relationship between buildings and growth of business in the study area. This study would want to further argue that approachability; social connections, availability of building and engagement in business procedures among others in the context of Sokoto business environment need to be strengthened and fortified to curtail the exodus of potential investments as well as magnetize other national investments to Sokoto metropolis.
