Rocks are put in the scene as VrayProxies. It speeds up viewport navigation.

We placed some cars near the main building.

Cars are placed quite far from camera so there was no reason to use hi-poly models.

There are many lights in the scene. Main Outdoor lights are three VrayLights (2 Domes and a Sphere Light). Inside the building we placed dozens of VrayIES lights.

Sphere light settings. It does not affect reflections.

The trick is in the details - you can see that there is difference between the structure of the front and side facade.

The second element of the front of the building is border.

It has very simple VrayMaterial.

This is how building looks without front wall. We modeled inside of the building. Nothing very fancy, but it is needed to achieve greater realism.
Click on image to enlarge 
This is the material of inside walls.
Click on image to enlarge 
Environment is quite simple - it consists of a few planes.
Click on image to enlarge 
We put some benches on the first plane, near the camera.
