I'm drawn more to number 2 - possibly because of the scale and being able to see a little more detail.
Number 1 is good as well, but I just find I am drawn up by the reflection of the yellow light of the water up to that pole, which is kind of odd - as opposed to the eyes drawing up to the building.
I think number 3 just looks like a building lit up and I tend to miss the water beneath (it could be a wet road etc it doesn't give the illusion of the expanse of water).

I like the first photo best. The orange light on the left, along with the colors and texture of the sky appeal to my eye. Maybe cropping a little from the bottom and straightening the horizon just a bit would help the composition a bit. I think you have several cropping/editiong options.

I like it!
