When there is a CVS, a Barnes and Noble, and a small grocery in the core you'll attract people more eager to live there. People want normal things in their neighborhood, not just restaurants and bars. Lifestyle is not just partying and shopping. It's about conveniently doing everyday things everyday. In many cities where condos are existing in central business districts it is heavily second homes for highly paid executives who want to leave the office and walk a few blocks to their condo and then they leave for the weekend. Those are now empty, but the affordable lifestyle areas surrounding them are still pretty strong.
