Why don't they put buildings underneath elevated freeways?

Here's a grocery store located under a highway overpass in the Netherlands. And actually, they build the grocery store before they built the bridge

Normally I'd find that very easy to believe. But looking at this overpass and how the grocery store is so integrated with the structure of it makes me think the store is the same age. If not, newer.

Louisville is also planning on building a park with a few buildings that will be underneath I-64 along the waterfront.

I guess I didn't phrase that right. I meant that they planned out the highway and the grocery store simultaneously, built the grocery store and then put the highway on top.

Do airports count?

How about a self-storage facility which was built beneath the lanes of CA-4 in Concord, CA:

Backstory here:  Southern Pacific used to have a branch line that ran parallel to Solano Way in this area, so when they built the CA-4 freeway in the late 1970's, they built the bridges across both Solano and the adjacent railroad ROW.  The railroad was decommissioned in the 1980's, and the tracks were removed.  Most of the railroad ROW in the Concord area was sold off to private interests, and so the storage facility was built in this area.

The Alaskan Way Viaduct was built partially over one building.  The building survived longer than the viaduct.
