Depends on building shape, lot shape, whether ties are to a specific point or just an offset from a property line.

If ties are to 2 opposite corners, you'll know the distance between the ties (the building's diagonal). Then you could offset the 2 property lines, then draw a circle using the "tangent tangent radius" method; the circle will intersect the offset at the corners.
