Is a major edge city in metro Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It is centered on Perimeter Mall, the nucleus around which it has formed. Perimeter Center is located north of Atlanta proper, and lies within three cities: Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Brookhaven. It is one of metro Atlanta's largest business districts, and one of the largest edge cities in the United States, comprising over 29,000,000 square feet (2,700,000 m2) of office space, 6,000,000 square feet (560,000 m2) of retail space, and 40,000 residents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter_Center
Of course, suburban DC has many suburban skylines mostly inside the beltway. I think Rosslyn is the best of the suburban skylines.
Clayton, Missouri (outside St. Louis) is a good one.
I've often wondered if suburban DC has so many great skylines as well as so many highly urbanized suburbs is due to the height limits in Washington.
As for Clayton, I might be going out on a limb on this one, but...
I suspect the gap between the core city's downtown and the leading suburban downtown is smallest in StL than anywhere else. St. Louis almost feels like it has a city downtown and a suburban downtown.

That's exactly what it is. Because the City of St. Louis is completely independent from the County, Clayton (population 16,000) is the county seat of St. Louis County (population 1 million), and therefore it is the de facto "downtown of the suburbs".
Schaumburg IL, which is an outer ring/edge city suburb of Chicago, has a number of mid-rise office structures. Especially when approaching the city from south, along I-290, its skyline seems to pop up over a wooded area. (Cook Co. Forest Preserves)
Among the corporations which have headquarters in Schaumburg are Motorola Solutions, Experian, and Car-Ex.
It is fairly impressive, not sure if it is one of the largest though.
Tyson’s has a huge skyline. I think the largest in metro DC
