Here on the Upper East Side of Manhattan there's a 30something tower with a bottle shop/dog gym at ground level (combined) as well as a green grocer built out into the courtyard as a two story glass shed (they have a seasonal restaurant)- a community dance theater above, and floors 5-7 are veterinarians (take my dogs and cat there)- floor eight is a long-stay kennel (K-9 Hotel).

Also part of the base (the tower sits above/incorporated into two small warehouses), is a kosher bakery with operations up to floor seven. Above that it gets murky- looking at the directory as I have for the past couple decades- you have a choice of residential apartments, acupuncturists, animal psychologists, independant publishers, real estate brokers and the Icelandic Bureau of Culture- I assume this is a phone bank and mail center. The top floor is a rentable hall for functions with terraces.

The building is just down the block from the HQ of the ASPCA (which explains all the animal services).

This type of amalgamation is common in New York
