Of your candidates listed, I would have to go with LA. Not only has it exploded in the last 20 years, high-rises, esp apt/condo towers, are flying up by the week, it seems. LA's skyline is very impressive.
I can't put it above Philly Boston or Seattle. Downtown LA got in the game too late, so to speak. But it could pass Seattle in the future. South Park (near staples )alone might have a top 15 skyline in ten years.
The good thing about downtown LA is many developers seem to be going big, which wasn't the case in 1990-2005. its going to be interesting to watch.
Downtown Seattle is growing faster than Downtown LA.
If you include other districts like Hollywood, then it might have a case. But then Seattle will get to count Bellevue etc., which is building several towers as well.
Idk. There's several areas adding in towers now. And once the purple line subway line is complete, it's going to explode/become more vertical than it ever has. I can see multiple 40-50 story buildings built near/on Wilshire alone. The proposals are already there.
The fact you can go from UCLA-Century City-Beverly Hills-Miracle Mile-Koreatown-Downtown-Hollywood without traffic is going to change the city.
Both of us. Bellevue just started the first of at least eight planned 600' towers and has several shorter ones underway (rail arrives in 2023). The U District has about 14 towers of 20-30 stories coming now that it allows highrises again (rail in 2021). Downtown Seattle just keeps starting 44-story apartments (our main archtype), including a couple that started site prep in the past couple weeks and a bunch underway.
