The building was used for a political campaign recently (I don't remember whose) and prior to that housed City Pawnbrokers/Tri-City Music for a couple of years. It's been possible at times to see portions of the bottom floor through the windows. The bits that are easily seen look like community centre kitchens - nondescript particle board cabinets but updated at some point. The interior is in generally good shape but it's going to need a lot of work to be a public space, and especially one with food service.
While I think Starbucks' kitchen requirements are relatively low (I don't think they cook anything on site) it seems reasonable to me that the plumbing and electrical will need to be overhauled, they may need to make upgrades to better accommodate supply deliveries, lots of things.
400k is a lot of money, but I'm curious how much Starbucks spends on leaseholder improvements typically. It doesn't seem entirely out of line for overhauling the interior of a place.
