Miami and Charlotte are probably the biggest contenders. Honorable mentions need to be given to Atlanta and Austin.

The whole Miami Metro-Dade area has experienced growth except for the city of Opa-Locka,it is astounding how much growth improvement there was.

To bad most of that growth remains empty.

I agree...Bellevue in the last 10 years has grown from a mall to this:

Seattle is starting a new construction boom several new highrise breaking ground now.

I'd say Austin. It actually looks like a city of its size now.

Chicago should be mentioned. In 2000, it was still a great skyline, but in 2010, it looks noticeably beefier. I must say Chicago has constructed quite a number of really big buildings that really did take a mark on its skyline. I mean four 800+ footers have been constructed there.
