I've got a bothways here, one of my ex-companies customers is the Spirella Building in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, England. They have a stack of Extreme 48 Layer 2/3 Switches which connect various small businesses over a large building (an old Corset Factory). As businesses have grown sometimes its been impossible to geographically extend their offices. However because of the ease of implementing the VLANs and roping in another one or set of ports the businesses are "virtually" in the same office. Administration is not a problem and no worse than grouping things geographically. I hope that is the sort of example you wanted (forget the Extreme bit though their ports and PSU's are always packing up and the frame room sounds like the flight deck of the USS Independence).
