Bobby,
I've seen pumps servicing entire complexes quite a bit, so I don't
see that as a problem. The issue about stand alone buildings vs.
within an existing building could be a little bit of a gray area. You
could have one tenant potentially controlling water supplies for a
different tenant in another building. I would run this by the local
AHJ and/or insurance carrier. The stand alone building would be the safest.

Is there something in the IFC or IBC 2006 or NFPA 20 which would
prohibit a booster fire pump from supplying multiple buildings on the
same property? Would it make any difference if the fire pump was in a
stand alone building or inside a two hour enclosure of one of the
protected buildings?
The scenario is a developer with three detached 200K sq ft spec
warehouse buildings with ESFR systems, all on one property, a good
public water supply but not quite good enough. All buildings are
supplied from a single tap to the public water system with a DDC device
in a vault.
NFPA 13-07 8.2.5 refers to "systems" or "risers" and I don't see the
intent for it to include a booster pump supply.
