Why is it masculine?

Almacén is masculine because it derives from Arabic "al-makhzan" (the storehouse), and when adopted into Spanish, it retained the gender conventions of Romance language nouns ending in "-én," which are typically masculine. The Arabic definite article "al-" was incorporated into the Spanish word itself, preserving its original masculine form.
