If you can take away the heavier loaded stacked goods stuff like lumber, I can't see why a home improvement retailer couldn't make this space work. This kind of building would be designed for 100psf floor loading (live load), plus likely provisions for concentrated loads from shelves, etc.
The other complication may be the operation of a fork-lift. Those are heavy little bastards. Especially a concern on structural floors.
Also, IMO, this is far too attractive a location and building with amenities like covered parking, cart-escalators, etc. to remain empty for long, not to mention that it's essentially brand new construction.
