I would say
'to corner'.
According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/corner:
CORNER
intransitive verb
: to turn a corner
// the car corners well
This is not a phrasal verb, which is what was requested

to move around TFD phrasal verb ( or circle around )
pass to the other side of; "turn the corner"; "move around the
obstacle"
As in:
He moved around the building to the back door.
This is not a phrasal verb, which is what was requested.

"Circle around" also works even if the movement is not perfectly circular; the aspect ratio of most buildings' footprint is on the order of 1:1.
