It is my understanding that the old building is about 300,000 sq ft. It would be a fantastic residential development but it would be very difficult and very expensive to do. It would be a massive undertaking for any developer.
The newer lowrise warehouses will probably have to be razed as their reuse is even more difficult and an industrial user is unlikely to want to be located there. In the end I would bet that at least part of the newer warehouses will be torn down and redeveloped into other, smaller industrial/commerical uses.

One thought I had for the strip along 4th would be car dealerships. Perhaps some of the low rise warehouses could be indoor car lots and service bays.
