Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
"Does" is the third-person singular form of the auxiliary verb "do". Observe that the first part of the sentence is in the present tense. We must maintain the same tense throughout the sentence. "Does not exist" is in the simple present tense and is the correct choice. The other options are in different tenses and are not correct.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The building you are talking about does not exist. "
