I guess it could be subjective, since skyline can expands upwards, outwards, or densify. Here is the # of 100+ meter buildings since 2009, built or topped out:
Source: Skyscrapercenter.com
Miami: 46 (5 under construction)
Houston: 27 (3 under construction)
Austin: 17 (3 under construction)
Los Angeles: 15 (6 under construction
Atlanta: 14 (0 under construction)
Las Vegas: 10 (1 under construction)
San Diego: 9 (0 under construction)
Dallas: 8 (1 under construction)
Charlotte: 6 (1 under construction)
Nashville: 5 (0 under construction)
Tampa: 2 (0 under construction)
Orlando: 1 (0 under construction)
San Antonio: 1 (0 under construction)
I wouldn't say it's centered on the south, I mean NYC and Chicago alone have had over 100 more highrises go up than this entire list combined and would easily be #1 and #2.
Seattle would have come in second on this list, San Fran third, Philly in the top half, Boston right in the middle and Denver near the middle as well.....
Some of those aren't "under construction" yet though. Although they will be, so I guess that's a moot point.
Also, Four Seasons is going to be 165m tall.
Ooops! Thanks for catching that. 265 m would really stand out in Nashville. As it is, 165 m is still some nice height, particularly for a luxury hotel like the Four Seasons.
Anyway, yes the rest of those on that list are under construction, or at least construction work has started on each of those sites (razing existing buildings, excavating for underground parking, etc.). They don't all have construction cranes yet. There are 33 construction cranes up right now in Nashville, up from 25 in January, and it'll increase a few when some of these really get going.
That Nashville figure is way off. Since 2009 there have been 7 towers completed over 100 m:
5 vs. 7 is not "way off". Also, 222 2nd Ave is less than 100 m. So it's 6 vs. 7. Either way, not very significant.
505 CST - 166 m
Bridgestone Tower - 140 m
The Pinnacle at Symphony Place - 127 m
JW Marriott - 118 m
The SoBro - 105 m
Westin Hotel - 103 m 222 2nd Ave S - 100 m

There are currently 9 100+meter buildings under construction:
Austin should definitely be on that list, there have been skyscrapers going up continuously for the past 10 years and many more are approved and will be set for groundbreaking soon. I’ve seen that skyline change drastically. Look it up on you tube and see how much it’s changed.

I struggle to understand why you bring up NYC and Chicago as well as the other cities quoting his post.
Here's some nice pictures I found on the internet of the Dallas skyline. I wouldn't say we had the most growth but the skyline wasn't continuous like it is today. Uptown and Downtown is pretty much one solid skyline now...
My picks would be Dallas and ATL, but I understand why Miami's probably leads the pack.
They’re so big, it takes a lot more for a noticeable change.
