The ones in the original picture in this thread are definitely
buildings under construction.  we have decided that for most of this
area it just makes sense to tag them as building=yes, since most are
likely completed now anyway.  We have seen some looking exactly like
this in areas with old bing imagery and if you zoom out a bit bing
gives you newer imagery where the building has a roof on it, so we are
confident that is what these are.
