Hey man!

Not bad stuff!

I think it's a bit too noisy for my taste, most textures have way too much high frequency detail.

You need to work on your lighting also, and general art direction of it. Those yellow windows are way too bright, tone it down a notch, and the blue lighting is not helping to sell the steampunk feel. Not all color theory book tricks work with stylized environments such as steam punk.

I also think that it needs more mechanical stuff, and less architecture. I know it's pretty common and easy to bring up example, but look at Blade Runner. The pipes and mechanical stuff covering the buildings help a whole lot.

Which concept art are you using for direction on this?

I'd agree with the noisiness of the textures. It makes it really harsh on the eyes.
