They are designed that way.

New transit construction is often the result of a joint venture between a rail company and one or more shopping construction companies / real estate companies.

They work together to identify where they can profitably build a new station, with attached (or nearby) shopping + residences. Then work with financing companies to pay for the land acquisition, construction, and advertising.
