The company doesn't own the buildings, but the owners of the company, the ones that would see the bonus money for selling the buildings (company savings on rent and a terminated lease), own the buildings.
So there are a lot of mental gymnastics, but the punchline is that the company does own the buildings with a lot of rotten little pockets in the irs filings...
Your initial and final statement, while both true, do very much contradict eachother.
I get what you're saying - yes, the owners of the company also own the buildings - but that is different from the company owning the buildings.
