Welcome to Polycount! For the column normal map, try flipping the green channel. For the building UVs, take a look at modular techniques. http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryEnvironmentModularity
Can you show us the degree to which you broke down the assets to acommodate modularity. Loving the touch with the glowing eyes at the end of the tunnel.
