You can place it on top of the building at one end. Usually, the suppression of the side lobes for the equipment (cheaper antennas) for WLAN isn't that good. In this case, you can use it to your advantage and service customers below the antenna.
Stick it at the far end of the lowest building pointed at the other buildings. You probably won't be able to use CPE other than the SB airBridge, though. The airBridge has the best power and range for this application.

Actually, if you don't need to cover any other place other than these 3 buildings, just use a directional instead of an omni.

Wayland,
We cover this type of topology in my area. 12dBi omni on the highest building would be the worst place to put it. Place the 12dBi omni on the lowest building. This will allow it to penetrate the other buildings (even if brick). Also, the omni's side lobes will be close enough to customers within that short buildiing to cover them as well -without overpowering the CPE radios.
With 12dB, you will be able to penetrate through the middle building and into the last building.

I am just after the general principle. I can't draw maps.
Three buildings in a row. Middle one is largest, 3 floor, one is two floor
and other is ground floor. The ground floor building is 10 metres away, the
2 floor is 30 metres away from the antenna. If I put a 12db omni at the roof
of the 3 floor middle one will I get good coverage at ground level?
