This dataset merges Google's V3 Open Buildings and Microsoft's latest Building Footprints. With 2,534,595,270 footprints, it is to our knowledge the most complete openly available dataset as of Sep. 2023. It covers 92% of Level 0 administrative boundaries, and is divided into 182 partitions. Each footprint is labelled with its respective source, either Google or Microsoft. It can be accessed in cloud-native geospatial formats such as GeoParquet, FlatGeobuf and PMTiles.
This has finally been completed and the dataset info is available here. Hope this helps, feel free to share the work with others and cite the community catalog
