This new plugin has just been rejected for low quality. Can I please get pointers as to what is missing here, what should be added in order to meet the standards. Your input would be appreciated as I've got many under my sleeves just waiting to be uploaded.

Try accentuating the shadows, less saturation (plus, since it is made of bricks, rather than plain brown I would approach the colour towards a more grey-yellowish one), make small windows darker, make also large windows darker, but not plain and sharp, use a composition of colours that would make it look more like glass. Plus, make the top more detailed and mark the edges of it with a lighter version of the colour you used for it. Add vents, pipes, or decorations like that, a bit more of noise.
Have a look at this tutorial, it might help you

The building mostly lacks texture and depth. For example, your windows on the ground floor look almost flat with the wall they're attached to. I see a little bit of depth, but the colors are too similar for it to be noticeable. When it comes to shadows, I like to hue shift them towards blue/purple a bit and desaturate them to give them more contract against the lighted side.
The building also lacks texture. Right now, the walls are just a plain brown color that doesn't look very interesting. Again, take a look at how TheoTown buildings achieve this effect.
