Z:R{sXtRAb:Ab%4\,c"XXXOOoo..."@b}MRaC KXL.CXD

Takes input as a command-line argument. Attempt This Online!

Explanation

High-level:

  R{sXtRAb:Ab%4\,c"XXXOOoo..."@b}              Apply this function
                                 MR            to each match
                                    C KXL.CXD  of this regex
                                   a           in the input string
Z:                                             Transpose the result
                                               Autoprint as lines (-l flag)

The regex:

   XL       Lowercase letter            [a-z]
  K         Apply Kleene star           [a-z]*
C           Wrap in a capturing group   ([a-z]*)
       XD   Digit                       \d
      C     Wrap in a capturing group   (\d)
     .      Concatenate                 ([a-z]*)(\d)

The replacement function takes three arguments: a is the full match, b is the first capturing group (a letter or empty string), c is the second capturing group (a digit).

R{sXtRAb:Ab%4\,c"XXXOOoo..."@b}
  s                              Space character
   Xt                            repeated 10 times
         Ab                      ASCII code of the letter (nil if empty string)
           %4                    Mod 4 ("a"->1, "b"->2, "c"->3, ""->nil)
             \,c                 Inclusive range from that number to the digit
                                 (treats a left argument of nil as 0)
       b:                        Assign that value to b
     RA                          and replace those indices in the space string
                "XXXOOoo..."@b   with the equivalent indices in this string
R                                Reverse to put the "top" of the building at the left

~kµṪV‘RרaiⱮ0xƲ)Ṗz0Ṛị“XXXOOoo... 

Try it online!

Full program returning a list of lines. If that isn't acceptable, +2 bytes.

Note the trailing space. Included my favourite:

.                 .
..               ..
...             ...
oooo           oooo
ooooo         ooooo
OOOOOO       OOOOOO
OOOOOOO     OOOOOOO
XXXXXXXX   XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

How it works

~kµṪV‘RרaiⱮ0xƲ)Ṗz0Ṛị“XXXOOoo...  - Main link. Takes a string on the left
~                                 - Bitwise NOT. This maps digits d to ~d and non-digits to 0
 k                                - Partition the string after falsey values
                                     This groups the string as we want, with a trailing []
  µ            )                  - Over each element, either [L, x] or [x]:
   Ṫ                              -   Extract x, modifying the element
    V                             -   Evaluate as a digit
     ‘                            -   Increment
      R                           -   Create a range
              Ʋ                   -   Last 4 links as a monad f([L]) or f([]):
        ØaiⱮ                      -     Index in the alphabet
            0x                    -     Get that many zeros
                                       If the element was [x], this yields []
                                       If the element was [L, x], this returns 1, 2 or 3 zeros, depending on L
       ×                          -   Multiple elementwise, zeroing the first 1,2 or 3 elements in the range if L is in the element
                Ṗ                 - Remove the trailing [] element
                 z0               - Transpose, padding with zeros
                   Ṛ              - Reverse
                    ị“XXXOOoo...  - Index into "XXXOOoo... "

 v                 # Loop `y` over each character:

    Rí             # Reverse this list, as well as each individual line
