Here's what I did to Western Shipping - a very similar building.

For weathering, I really only concentrated on the bottom, where dirt from rain splash would hit the building. I Very lightly drybrushed a black/grey over much of the building to tone it down a little, but did not concentrate on anything specific, giving the appearance (I hope) of a recently refurbished building. It was constructed as a background building for a friend's layout and these were his instructions. Had it been mine, I think it would have undergone a little more weathering.
For the record, I believe that the building is either all concrete, or is brick "curtain" between a concrete and steel frame.
