If you're planning to buy this type of property as an investment, you'd probably also be considering its en bloc potential years down the road. 

Remember Queensway Shopping Centre? It's also a mixed developed built since the 70's.

Below article gave a summary why its en bloc failed. What's the chances history repeating itself for the mixed development you currently eyeing?

Bugis has many options for mixed developments

Just my little opinion. Mixed development is interesting and probably you will attract better rental. However, many people don't realise they are buying into a development and not just a condo. Unlike standalone condo, you only pay for that condo common facilities. In a mixed development, this includes the common areas of the other stratas. Therefore, you will be contributing to their biz although your portion is lower.
