Where I live (Nashville, Tennessee, USA) there are numerous real estate developments made up entirely of offices, plus perhaps a restaurant or two for the office workers. Each such "office park" has a name, and could well be marked on a map, as well as marking the individual offices and other businesses. It is not unusual for someone giving directions on how to find a particular office to include the name of the office park.
