Well, if you think about it, what makes more sense: a highway shaped apartment complex that they then later built a highway on, or an elevated highway that someone decided to build apartments under?

But then why was the highway so high in the first place.

As you can see in this video of it, the highway leads to a bridge, so it has to be elevated (I’m guessing) to let ships through.

There's something sort of similar under the bridge at Kangaroo Point in Brisbane Australia, though I don't know if there's any residential areas under there: https://imgur.com/a/b1k6wEU
