I think it is reasonable to map a warehouse/distribution centre, these are places that customers cannot go. But suppliers, truck drivers and the like need to find it. An example here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.7542&mlon=-1.9231#map=16/52.7542/-1.9231&layers=N Its the Amazon distribution centre, it is enormous, covered in logos, and verifiable.
