What you have done is permitted (but odd), but you usually only see the "of" form when you want to insert a qualifying word: "The town had only a few buildings of more than two stori

But what if i don't know the number of floors the building has and I'm forced to mention that the building had at least several of them, how do I express myself?

He jumped off a tall building or a multiple-story building.
