For fun's sake, I'll throw Jersey City into the ring of contenders. Through most of the 20th century, Jersey City's waterfront was mostly rail yards and docks. In the 1980s, mixed-use development began, continued through the 1990s, and exploded in the 2000s and 2010s. All of it has been fueled by transit access to NYC via the PATH rail system and ferries, and in 2000 a light rail system opened connecting other waterfront nodes to PATH and to other locations.
Since 2000, over 25,000 residential units, a couple million square feet of office space, and retail (not sure the square footage of retail) have been developed on the JC waterfront. There's about 37,600 residential units in the pipeline (planned, approved, or under construction) citywide, most of which is in clusters near PATH and LRT stations.
What do you guys think about Vancouver, BC in Canada as far as TOD? I personally think TOD around skytrain stations in Vancouver is superior to TOD around metro stations in DC.

Newport, Jersey City is a solid example of a typical TOD, though this sort of development is pretty atypical for the NYC area. I think White Plains and Stamford have some of it outside of LIRR stations.
This is not in North America, but Sydney in Australia is rife with transit-proximate development around Sydney Trains stations. I'm not sure that I'd call all of them TODs though, since some of the development seems to have predated the transit.
