I think.. (I DON'T KNOW!)
if you have a lot like this
xx
xx
(2x2)
and if you want to have a 1x1 lot in the end, then place your prop on the bottom right square for example and resize the Lot to 1x1.
Then try to save.
Or try it the other way around... make a 1x1 Lot place the prop outside and make it 2x2... then save... and then resize it to 1x1 again.. and save.
I don't know if that works.
I'd try it, but my LE is closed and it takes a long time to open it..
Sorry if it didn't help you out

Kimcar, putting an offset prop will do the trick. There is also another way - make a 1x1 lot, save it, run SimCity 4, put the lot. Then exit the game (and, of course, save your city). After that open LE again and open your lot. Resize it and put props on it. Then click on Save (not save as!). Then run the game again and that's it :)
Hope this helps!

They're made by baters who render them offset.

There is another way, which doesn't require Batter
You can create a prop/building examplar with a Resource Key Type 4 which can contains the offseting in the 2nd to 4th rep ( x ,y ,z offset ) . I don't remember the scaling factor exactly
Also using this kind of building/prop will not show the same in LE and in the game, so it might be tedious
