I'm not sure "preferential" fits in this context as there is some repetition. However, I came up with "preferential treatment"
"Die Direktion hat ihren Sitz im 15-ten Stockwerk und hätte in eurem Konzept am liebsten eine Vorzugsbehandlung."
"Die Direktion hat ihren Sitz im 15-ten Stockwerk und hätte in eurem Konzept am liebsten eine Vorzugsbehandlung."

: IMHO, the AT does not convey an expectation as much as a desire

Discussion
"The head office is located on the 15th storey and would most prefer preferential treatment in your concept." Just wondering whether "benefit from" be used instead of "prefer"
Thanks.
