Apparently in many developing world cities with shaky property records it's known for fraudsters to make fake real estate deals using buildings they don't own, to the point that in Google Street View it's common to see "this property is not for sale" or similar painted on house walls near the entrance. I've never seen it on a building this large though!

Once I asked google to remove my house from street view and it turned from a normal house to a blur, a bunch of shitty web scrapers thought it was recently renovated, so they started sending me ads for insurance to cover "my new upgrades"

I'm from Colombia, and can confirm, it is somewhat commons pecially in big properties with lots of grass but without buildings.
