the "lie" used here means:
To exist; reside
To occupy a position or place
Since "buildings" is plural, the verb "lie" does not have an "s" attached in the end.
your sentence is correct!
bravo!

"Lie" is the correct form grammatically. Several and buildings are both plural, so use lie. If it was singular, as in: The Sears Tower, then you would use lies.

Present form would be "lie."

First, it's spelled "grammar." The "lie" you chose is correct, but you could also say "are located" or "are found."
