Hi Dan welcome to the community, as you start out you don't need a tilt-shift lens unless money is not an issue. However you do need to correct your vertical lines, and i would agree with Ashley list
This may require a wider angle lens than you own. Hire one.
While a tilt shift lens is a nice thing it is not mandatory with the correction tools we have available in Lightroom and Photoshop.
I have tilt shift lenses and they are useful (and expensive) for some images but many images are easily handled with regular lenses, good technique (keep camera a level as possible) and post processing.
I would also position myself a touch higher as I got closer to have the catch fencing in the foreground drop out of the frame to be less distracting.
A wide lens can also be held in a more level position and thus minimizing the keystoning.
A contemporary building like this also show very well at dusk. The expanse of glass showing off the interior while minimizing the detritus in the area.
Most important, explore your space. Walk all around the building and see where things line up. What views look good and why. What was the builder most proud of?
Perhaps invest in a tilt-shift lens.
You need to be in front of the trees or use the space between the trees to frame the building.

This will get you making better images quickly.
