Thank you all for your contributions to this discussion. There does appear to still be a bit of a trick here as the disused tag for areas/buildings is still expected to be used with regards to an amenity tag, and building=apartments is a description of the construction/building but also indicates its use.
The towers in question are due to be demolished in 2020. I’ve made them building=yes and kept the building level tags, and name, as they’re still visible. The landuse has been changed from residential to brownfield. Additionally, i’ve added a note and a source indicating their expected demolishion date. Fwiw, building=disused with disused=apartment *does* render differently (dashed lines, like construction) in the ID editor at least... but that’s just one render, so i’ve held back.

Err no. Having both tags on the one object is contradictory. How is it determined which tag to render? A building=* is rendered one way. A disused:building=* is rendered another. So .. is it a "building" or a "disused building"??? _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
