To Be Built
intransitive verb, godan verb
You know that 建てる is "to build." This is similar to that, but it's the version where you're not doing the building. Something is just getting built. That's why this word means to be built. You can remember that by thinking about how two (つ) buildings were built without you noticing. These two buildings just seemed to pop up out of nowhere and, unfortunately, they're now blocking your view.
