Does the underlined word mean "elevated/raised"?
Нет, построенных, сооруженных (built). Так обычно говорят о высотных зданиях, башнях, помятниках.Quote:

but it would be ridiculous to use it for an ordinary house (возводить is a more sophisticated word)
what would the English equivalent be?
'erected'? probably this one fits.
Thank you!
What about сооружение? Does it mean "construction"?
