I always imagined we tag as it exists - it would be building=apartments then. I omagine there is a lot of renovation to turn a industrial warehouse into apartments. 

It certainly wouldn't sit on landuse=industrial except in rare on-site dormitory style situations. 

The basic pair of landuse+building 

Landuse=industrial+building=industrial

Would change to

Landuse=residential+building=apartments.

I know there is a way to tag what the building as to what it was initially used for - but i don't think that is the proper way (afaik).
