Under way, but for what?

Another new house in the DQ on a cul-de-sac close to our house. This was taken six months ago, and I haven’t been back since, but even if finished, I’m sure there are no tenants because there is no electricity. There is also a house under construction directly next door to ours that has been a nightmare because of the noise and dust (think jackhammers at 7 a.m., all day long), which has been under way for the two-and-a-half years we have lived here. Suddenly, several months ago, work on it accelerated to fever level, but I’m not sure why if nobody can live there. Maybe the builder has connections…

Could it be they have some sort of incentive to finish it or they don't like the look of unfinished buildings.
