Great!

I can only assume you were aiming for realism in this piece, so I'll point out some of the obvious details you missed.

1. Proportion. The innards of the building would have to be extremely cramped to express the layout portrayed by the windows and bottom floor doorways. (Remember there would be a stairwell consuming up to a quarter of that buildings volume)

2. The fire escape. Aside from the topmost level looking very unsafe (Where's the railing?), this too is out of proportion. The intention of this type of fire escape being an escape route for *all* floors of the building.

But regardless of these little mistakes, you have not failed in creating an extraordinarily good looking building! Like it has been mentioned, this is definitely the kind of quality you'd expect to see in a newly released video game! Good job!

Some people are just best at drawing shiny butts. :)

Thanks!!! And you CAN do that, just take some tuts and download C4D.

3D stuff

This is more a review based off DeschRTG's review. Although I won't fault, I think a lot of the appeal of this pic how cartoonish and fun the building is, and the use of vibrant colours.

I would say over-consideration of the textures would mean the pic is attempting realism, which would not only destroy the fun aspect, but would highlight other areas which require further work.

Since I'm considering this a cartoonish 3D model, I'd say that'd it be nice to give some individuality to the building, since it's people that give it personality. Say clothes lines and flower boxes from a couple of window sills, grafitti, hop scoth squares, etc. It could give a clue to what kind of neighbourhood the builiding is in.

... and architecturally (unless I'm wrong), shouldn't there be a fire escape door on each level, as opposed to only the top? Also the Wacom ad board would mean that 1 or 2 of the apartments have no windows.
