Of the last three I have done, the common elements for the first was everything outside the drywall, one was the roof only (just sheathing and shingles) and the last one was just the roadway, sidewalks and site lighting (the driveway, deck, yard and the entire building were part of the units).
David,

IF that is a second floor unit, then they do not own the first floor or the third floor, or the walls between units, which means they do not own the structure, which means the structure is "common property" to the association, which would (I suspect) be made up of all unit owners.
