English term or phrase: residential

The text is part of the provisions of a trust. Some people get some money beforehand, and whta is left is to be distributed as follows::
"Allocation of Trust Estate – Remainder: The trustee shall distribute and allocate the remainder of the trust in equal shares to the following charitable organizations:
(1) XXX, for the exclusive benefit of AAA KIRCHE of BBB, Germany, the trustor’s home church, for the building and maintenance of the residential buildings; and..."

I tried "Wohngebäude" and "Gebäude zur Unterbringung von Personen" as translations but my client says both are wrong withou telling me more. I do not know any other meaning of "residential".

Mit den Gebäuden (residantial buildings) könnten auch alte Villen (z.B. Patrizier-Häuser), Burgen, Schlösser usw. gemeint sein....

3 hrs confidence:

nichtgewerbliche Gebäude

Explanation:
Ich hatte das neulich in anderem Kontext (Chemische Industrie). Dort wurde "residential" als Gegenteil zu "commercial" verwendet.

Bzgl. Gebäude habe ich auf einer Webseite über Building and Zoning Permit Fees Folgendes gefunden:

"B. RESIDENTIAL (NON-COMMERCIAL)

1. New single-family dwelling unit, multiple family dwelling unit, condominium unit or similar residential structure. Per Square Foot of Floor Space.....$ 0.40

C. COMMERCIAL – INDUSTRIAL – INSTITUTIONAL (NON-RESIDENTIAL)

1. Commercial – Industrial – Institutional Buildings, new and/or additions"

Ich kann völlig daneben liegen, aber da "Wohngebäude" abgelehnt wurde?...
