Clearly it's a virtual office, used for legal and/or financial purposes. I used to investigate this stuff and I'd see this sort of thing all the time. Without accusing anyone of anything, I have to say that it's rare to find a virtual office that's being used for totally non-shady reasons, especially when it's just a random address like this (there are some corporate addresses that are more above-board, including a virtual office at 1 Yonge, home of the Star).
A lot of addresses are "suites" located at a post office, UPS Store or other similar facility. This is for several reasons - a small office-based business, for example might want to have a mailing address sound more impressive or separate from their home address. Or a company uses one for advertising a position and not wanting applicants (or existing employees) to know specifically which firm it is. Some small businesses operate out of shared business offices that would share a receptionist, meeting facilities, printing, etc.
But for a multi-million dollar company, I'm slightly surprised to see the address of a small house in a lower-income Hollywood, FL neighbourhood used as a local 'office'.
