I think that the thing which "throws me off" on the building is that its distance from the viewer is ambiguous. Normally, that would be a good thing, but the painting technique makes it appear as if it's some distance away, while its positioning suggests that it's much closer. I think that a strip of painted ground (or roadway/parking lot) between the base of the backdrop building and the modelled parking lot would improve the perspective - try moving the building up an inch or two. I do agree that the building should be included, if possible, as it places the foreground more in context with its surroundings.
