I'm not such a big fan of the selective coloring, and in this case I don't think it does anything to make your photograph more powerful. I'd like to see the full color version. The pole leading down to the sign is where my eye first goes. A bit distracting, but I like the sign.

One color window doesn't do it for me either. I'd try for both windows in color.

The tones in the photo are all too neutral for the black and white conversion to be really effective for me. At first glance I thought this was just a gray building with a colorful window shade and then later realized it was a black and white photo with selective coloring.

Both have pretty good points. If you bump up your contrast a little it could make a pretty neat BW photo. The drainage pipe is a little distracting but I think the sign is where my eyes go first. Maybe it’s because that is where the pipe is leading me.
