What does this 'these have' mean

The spaces under elevated train tracks are drawing attention again in central Tokyo as railways eager for a bigger piece of the retailing pie transform vacant areas traditionally used as warehouses and parking lots.

The railways are trying to lure shoppers to what they hope will become a new kind of “ekinaka,” or “within station” shopping mall. These have are being built in major train stations across the country.

In the passage above, what does 'these have' mean? Or maybe, is it some kind of mistake?
