Yes, as you all surmised these are air conditioners. A whole lot of them.
They are being installed on top of the Broadstone Enso Apartments in Portland’s Pearl District. All 152 units, which range from about 560 sq. ft. to 1330 sq. ft., have walk-in closets, full-size washer/dryers, and their own air conditioner. This lucky guy (below) gets to solder every one of them.

Looks like a whole row of Air Conditioning Units to me.

M&?D are right but they also look like the sub-woofers for a young man’s car.
