The building management's goal was to get people to lease office space and park in their complex, so the premium services that we offered was a perk when they were pitching to possible tenants. People would park at one of our contracted garages and walk blocks away to work so they could get service done.
I'd recommend finding who owns the entire complex or the office management company that runs the office park and pitch the idea to them. You are probably going to need to get permission from them anyway to operate on their property. Generally, they'll own multiple complexes around the area.

Here is Tha Flip Side...I have a customer who "OWN's" a couple of the most sought after commercial property in Memphis.He does not allow ANY mobile rigs on his property.His main beef is the mess they leave behind.All the brake dust/engine grease/tire dressings.
And as far as trying to contact these "OWNERS" of said property.....Good Luck,They have bigger fish to fry than the local Car Wash guy.

Remind yourself that you're helping them increase their revenue as much as they are helping you do the same. I've had people from parking garages across the street move to one I was operating in solely to take advantage of my services.
After introducing my services I ended up putting up 12x16" laminated posters including the pricing at all the elevators. Now I do nothing to maintain visibility and promotions at these facilities other than continue to produce good results.

You may be able to slip it thru with a Property Mgmnt Group,just hope the "OWNER" is not a local.
