Uninformed guess that the building at the bottom of site #2 is a high bay, given the depth of its shadow as compared with other shorter buildings on the site. High aspect ratio, so maybe for processing/storing stages?
Check out the first few pages of the original McGregor Testing Update thread:http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=28332.0My OP is a little out of date now, but some of is still the same.
I believe that the "Unidentified New Construction 1" is the SuperDraco test facilities.

He has the Super Draco test site marked at a different location.
The new, large hangar at the southern end of the campus (Unidentified New Construction 2) is almost exactly the same size as the hangar at SLC-4E Vandenberg, so I speculate that it is for FH integration, even though it is somewhat far from the new FH test stand.

The attached pictures show bare dirt on November 2, 2011 and an externally complete hangar on December 12, 2012.

They also paved a larger car parking area.
Looking at this UNC1, I have a puzzlement. The facility itself looks like it could well be a two-cell engine test stand. But what's that large leaf-shaped scar on the ground to the west of it? I first thought it was just where grass and other plantae had been burned off during a test, but looking at the December 2012 GE image and the previous one leaves me scratching my head a bit. The area doesn't seem to be quite aligned with the axis of the cells, the ground looks broken up, and there are several largish things in the area which might or might not have been there previously.
Construction Area 1; A new launch pad. Using both the shadow of the tower in the construction area and the shadow of a nearby water tower, I figured the tower in the construction area is much to compact and tall to be a test stand. The water tower for noise suppression/fire suppression is a logical outgrowth there. The road leading to the new construction is much more suited to being a tow road for a rocket than for test articles.Just a thought...Jason
