This is going to have a hard time marketing to offices regardless. The office market is contracting even as the economy grows. If you want access, you go downtown. If you want cheap, you go to an exurban office park. Places like this are increasingly ending up with nothing.
That's going to be another difficult compromise we have to make in a lot of places over the next generation. Do we hope for a perfect mix of uses, demand office, and wait decades because that demand never materializes? Or do we roll with the never-ending demand for residential and just let it be a bunch of apartment buildings? I suspect, left to the market, we'd have a lot of apartments here pretty quickly if we let it happen.
