In my case, the address is set most of the time by what side the water meter is on. In that case it is easy to set the address except on corner buildings like you point out. In addition, in newer addresses it seems that the whole structure gets an address. Then sub-addressing as they call it provides a suite/flat number for each of the shops. I have also seen the cases that you provide. In this case, I make an address point in the building polygon where the doorway is located. A shop window can provide the same address point location. I just create a separate POI for the shop. The address will remain even if the building is torn down but shop owner and merchandise can have great volatility. Regards, Greg
