It sounds like they are clueless about what kind of bike rack to install.
I would talk with them about a temporary solution till the racks are installed, and volunteer to be the bike rack "coordinator" and do the research about what kind of rack is needed, and to contact the other tenants to make sure their needs are taken care of. This would also give you contacts with all the other bicyclists in the building.
