Living on top of a shopping centre wouldn't bother me in itself, though it'd lose points in my book if the operator had a controlling interest in the strata.
What would really cause me to avoid such apartments is the same thing that goes for apartments in general - I need somewhere secure to store my motorbikes and tools, and somewhere to work on things. An underground car space and a small chook wire storage cage simply does not work for this - I wouldn't be able to work on my vehicles or use many of my tools, and they'd all get five finger discounted by the end of the first week. I don't care as much about my actual living space (I can get by with small or old places) but being able to easily do stuff like pull my van into the driveway, weld up a copy of VW's special engine support tool, and change the timing belt is pretty important to me and a big reason why I would prefer to avoid apartment living.
