yes, it works and has been used in this context before - see my 2nd link below
LisaV20 Apr 11, 2012:
I like it too! It's perfect

Hi Phil THAT'S IT. Office (space) for high-flying businesses. Gets my 3 stars!!
philgoddard Apr 11, 2012:
Another possibility: Offices for high-flying businesses.
Juliet Dawnay Apr 11, 2012:
Or: offices (guaranteed) to give you lift off
Ramey Rieger (X) Apr 11, 2012:
How about aerie/ayrie offices?
philgoddard Apr 11, 2012:
The text appears to concern a business park called AirPark in Opfikon. It is very near Zurich airport, and a lot of the local businesses are aviation-related. I think that any translation of the phrase should reflect this.
Cilian O'Tuama Apr 11, 2012:
Is it a heading? If so, could you provide the following paragraph - it might provide a few clues as to how they mean it.
David Umpleby (asker) Apr 11, 2012:
Yes. Not far but not in the immediate vicinity of an airport.
It is a heading, perhaps even a logo. The heading is the name of the office block "XXXX Centre" with Büros zum Abheben written underneath.
The remainder of the advertisement relates to a description of new office space for rent in the XXX Centre.
Cilian O'Tuama Apr 11, 2012:
or in a skyscraper ?
(or in an elevator)
Steffen Walter Apr 11, 2012:
Location Is this office space located near an airport?

Watch your business take off

or your choice of variants such as let/see, etc. for watch

Just another idea if you feel the heading allows you to be quite free, assuming that the rest of the text makes it clear that there are offices to rent near an airport.
