Corrected the perspective on the buildings, then stretched them down to make them seem tall still.
Opened a curves layer and brought the black point in. Then went into each channel of the layer and brought the green and blue point over to the bottom of the histogram.
Duplicated all layers to a new layer, and did a high pass filter at 2 pixels radius and set to soft light to give some pop to the scene. Masked it away from the background across the river.
Added a curves layer to give some contrast to the darker areas in the foreground, and used the blend-if sliders to mask it away from the brighter parts of the image.
Then duplicated all layers onto a new layer, and lowered contrast and added a 1 pixel blur, and (very sloppily) masked it to the buildings in the background and in the distance, to give less business to the scene, and more emphasis on the foreground buildings.
