I thought about this as well.  However, Columbia Residential owns about 150 building up here (https://residential.columbia.edu/content/explore-residences), and most seem to be in contiguous groups.  Some of these areas are already bounded similarly in areas in OSM. For visual display and consistency's sake, I thought it best to use the same method for all these Columbia Residential buildings, even if it seems awkward for several of the solo buildings such as this.
