tl;dr: What is the right way to tag a site with multiple adjacent buildings, if the buildings house different, unrelated businesses, but the site as a whole has a common name, common address, common operator and so on (sort of like a shopping mall, but smaller and mostly with crafts). Details: In Frömern, Germany there's an old farm, called "Hof Sümmermann", that has been repurposed for use by multiple small businesses - see the site on OSM.
