They heavily implied at NA FanFest that it would be player housing once the Restoration was completed. It's clearly laid out as a housing district - you can see the outlines of the house plots with the offset rectangles that mirror the design of existing housing districts. The first quest that unlocks once the 5.21 stages are complete is titled "A Hone in the Firmament".

SE is not the type of company that would be mocking and teasing a house-hungry player base with all these things then not delivering. There will be an Ishgard housing district coming later this expansion.
