Only if the address is directly related the web page it is published
on. The address element is meant as a physical locator of the document
maintainer, not for any old address:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#h-7.5.6

The ADDRESS element may be used by authors to supply contact
information for a document or a major part of a document such as a
form. This element often appears at the beginning or end of a
document.
