I've done these often, as follows. One building=yes for the strip mall. Add addr:street and addr:housenumber for the building polygon.
Add amenity=parking polygon(s) where appropriate. Add highway=service; service=driveway to connect the local roads to the parking areas. Add a node for each business, and place it near where the main door to the business is located. That node should include name=xxxxxx; shop=yyyyyy (or amenity, whatever is applicable) Add wheelchair=yes if the place has a power door and wheelchair button, or whatever criteria you use locally. Adding the addr:suite= is a nice touch, as is adding opening_hours= there are things that can not be modelled perfectly in OpenStreetMap, and that's okay. We can model things well enough to be very useful. Doing a survey of a local strip mall brings, accurate, complete, up to date data to OpenStreetMap. That's excellent.
