Your example about malls is actually common in Asia:
- Central and Aeon own malls;
- Tesco owns multi-story shopping complexes including banking, retail, fast food, etc;
- and for that matter, Walmart, Target, Costco, and some grocery stores in the US operate multiple smaller businesses inside, eg banks or fast food.
It’s really not that uncommon for a corporation to operate part of their commercial space as a subsidiary marketplace.
