Off topic question, behind the Marathon gas station at 13 Mile and Mound there is a piece of land with several strange shapes on the ground. Any idea what these are?

Foundations for condominiums that were never built due to the housing crash back in 2008. I don't know how much the condos were, but the homes were starting off at $296K but of course now they're lucky to still see some worth more than $200K.

Intriguing, looks like the Martian nailed it. Is this what you refer to? These seem to be plots for homes.
