Why does my thread that was posted first before this one about which skyline will be the most changed in the next 10,years get deleted but this one doesn't?
Target is popping up everywhere, but not in every downtown area (or CBD), which this thread is about.
My point is that Target isn't really a department store; it's more of a big-box store.
Department stores are places like Macys, Saks, and the like. Places that mostly sell soft goods, not really places like Target with groceries and weed-whackers and swing-sets and the like.

I don't know but there are a million skyline threads on City-Data. No offense but this thread is refershingly different and more broad than just aksing about how tall a building or skyline will be. Overall, neighboborhood change is more interesting in my view anyway....
Downtown LA will also have a new subway line and two new subway stations (Little Tokyo is an existing station that will be put underground), giving direct access to many more areas of the core from Santa Monica / USC, Pasadena, East LA and Long Beach.
But as far as the OP, it is really hard to say because it looks like so many downtown areas are improving dramatically.
No Denver? Downtown Denver is currently going through major changes right now. A lot of infill, new stores, much improved public transit, and the residential buildings are changing Downtown really fast.
Yeah I agree, Denver is on a bit of a roll with downtown development and quickly expanding transit. It would seem that the most noticeable changes would be to cities that don't already have a substantial built up and known dynamic downtown now (I'm not saying that Denver doesn't have a vibrant downtown, it just isn't the first city that comes to mind for a lot of people) so in a city like Denver these changes can seem fairly dramatic.
Seattle would be my 2nd pick, even though it already has a pretty happening and dense downtown with the removal of the bayside freeway and ongoing related development it will absolutely transform some areas of the city similar to what the "Big Dig" did for Boston.

My post was the exact same but 10 years and had different cities. Jmt seems to pin point me. Because the fact is mine was the same thing as this one but this one isn't deleted.
Its not one of the choices in the poll, but Austin has several new buildings being built downtown. Last time I was in the area I counted at least 6 cranes on the west side of downtown. And there's more on the east side of downtown. So i'd say Austin's downtown will have the most dramatic change overcthe next 5 or 6 years.
DTLA is changing and LA in whole is becoming a larger business district than it formerly was. Denver is also growing, but I'm not sure about "Downtown" Denver.
Why wouldn't you be sure about it? Downtown Denver is growing quickly as we speak. Especially the Union Station area.
Downtown LA by a mile. The rest of these cities already have decent downtowns so no how matter how much they change, that change has less impact. For example, no doubt Manhattan will get more new development by 2020 than every other city on this list combined, but the change is going to be much less visible than the change in DTLA, which is literally going from a place no one wanted to live to the hottest neighborhood in Los Angeles in a very short period of time.
