Many find that it is advantageous to be in a downtown area close to transit and other service options - it can definitely help with attracting certain types of employees, but can also detract. Cost and challenges of parking and office space can also be major factors. I've always tried to live close to where I work and vice verse. It's not always possible, but commuting is usually not a pleasure - and I don't think that too may people consider it "free time". It is often very difficult to be productive on mass transit - especially during peak hours. Employers will and should locate where they want to.
