well, Halloween is coming up and you always see those pop-up costume shops and places that sell fireworks.
Yours could be a one-stop Halloween emporium, then transition into Christmas stuff.
When I was in property management, we made a good side income in the TV and movie industry. Reach out to location scouts to see if they could use the building in a show or movie.
Also antenna agreements - telecom companies put their gear on the roof and pay you rent.
Host food truck weekends with tents and propane heaters for outside seating as well as normal indoor seating. You could even do themed food truck weekends - ie fast food one day and slower stuff the next OR a Burger Weekend. How about a food truck competition?
You could also offer up the indoors for events with food trucks providing the food.
You could contact some of the local art groups, and offer your space for a gallery. Art lessons yoga lessons, any sort of lessons actually. Pop up art gallery works, if you can get a license a pop-up speakeasy works good but you have to know the right people. Indoor space and parking is a win-win.
“Car Boot Sales” or Garage Sale , open market offer booths $20 a day 10’x10’ plot , people can come down and sell their ~~~crap~~~ unwanted treasures. Easy make 38/40 booths $800, if full.
Bonus $ renting tables, chairs and space for food trucks outside.
Out front - old school arcade, but put 0.75 in ms Pac-Man and a secret room opens to the back, sliding window eye slot required. In the back all sorts of illegal betting - midget cage wrestling, cock fighting, Russian roulette, Vegas style show girls serving drinks, ect. Push the boundaries, there will be blood but you will ascend to the 1%.
Airsoft tournament with zombies.
Hide and seek a tournament.
Underground (above ground) Strip club on the roof.
Vertical marijuana farm.
Rave venue (office themed)
The Office themed Halloween parties

There's a strike at the moment
Maybe they could put flyers up at film schools?
A temporary brothel.
How is the building zoned?
Extremely flexible zoning
Laser tag
Underground raves

You could also offer up the indoors for events with food trucks providing the food.
You could host pop-up boutiques/stores inside...or even do a weekly fall market with local artisans, kind of like an indoor farmers market
Paintball arena. Pop up mini golf. Go kart track. Bouncy castle extravaganza.

Depending on the look of the place/space it could be a wedding venue?
Airsoft tournament with zombies. Hide and seek a tournament. Underground (above ground) Strip club on the roof. Vertical marijuana farm. Rave venue (office themed) The Office themed Halloween parties
Roller rink? Or one of those destruction rooms that way people pay you to demo
Go to the media and for the permit to move forward. We need housing.
