I assume you're using RT's built in ___Approvals queue and workflow.
If so, just set the Owner based on the Building selection.  You can do
that from the CreateTickets action with something like 
Owner: {
if ( $Tickets{TOP}->FirstCustomField('Building') eq 'Building 1' ) {
go look up the principal and return it
} etc etc etc
}

Then just make sure that Owner has ShowTicket and it'll limit to the
people who actually own the ticket.
