A lot of cities are catching up after the recession, so not sure if SF stands out, but SF has a lot going on.
About 20+ new high-rises over 300 ft and the new Transbay Terminal (i.e., our future Penn Station). Among the high-rises, 2 will be the tallest in the city. The skyline will probably grow by 1/4 by 2017 or so
Also huge (but still only planned) redevelopments of large areas, including Mission Bay, Hunter's Point, Treasure Island, and the Merced Area.
Thanks! Union Station looks pretty impressive. How tall will the building under construction be? Do you know anything about D.C.? Everyone keeps saying there is a lot of stuff going on there apparently. I was in D.C. in the early 2000's and it was very rundown.
I think the master plan is pretty conceptual at this point so there are no definite plans for the towers. I would imagine around 400 feet though.

A new arena as well, near the new high-rises
Kind of hard for me to believe SF's skyline will grow by 1/4 by 2017...it's already big as it is...
Oh I thought he/she was talking about the Union Station tower (I think there are a couple in the rendering).
Wilshire Grand has a boosted height because of its sail / spire. The tower itself is a little shorter than the US Bank Tower, but the spire puts it over the top.
What is different about it? I haven't been back in over a decade, but there was so much decay when I last was there it must have changed at a pretty rapid rate to be spoken of so highly. Could you post some projects going on in D.C.? Is there anything on the scale of the beltline in Atlanta?
What about some of the other cities like Philly and San Fran? Anybody know anything about them?
You should visit D.C. again. I think you would be surprised how much it has changed. As for major projects:
