Isn't that the same problem with more steps? You would need to setup a corporate address right?

Go buy a 3 million dollar office. Cheap and simple fix.

If you buy one of those registered agent services that might work - I haven't looked into it and you're looking at a couple hundred a year though.

its not the same problem, now anyone who wants to know who you are has to pierce the corporate vale. If the holding corporation is incorporated in a friendly jurisdiction, then you have extra big steps toe pierce the corporate vale (Malta, Kit Neives, Bermuda, etc)
