As someone who splits time between Raleigh and Miami, I understand what you mean. In Miami in particular, the amount of development in its core has been staggering. However, that's largely been a product of our current decade, not the next one. IMO, Miami "took off" this decade while Raleigh will take off in the 2020's.
Unfortunately, Miami's ascendance has largely been ignored/overshadowed/dismissed on a regular basis, and often by people on C-D Forums who have a dismissive attitude toward anything Florida.
Miami took off earlier. You should have seen all the cranes there in the late 2000s, I’ve never seen anything else quite like it.
This city is already one of the fastest growing in the nation, has been for a few decades, and will "take off" well into the future. There is unfortunately a lot of ag land (some of the most productive and diverse in the nation) in the western metro area that will get paved over with homes, businesses, offices, etc.
The city government is more progressive than ever and writing plans to upzone the entire city.
Other smaller cities that will most likely "take off" in the region will be Spokane and Salt Lake, both of which are already obviously growing quickly.

It is still going at a pace as in more projects and bigger in scale than any city outside of NYC and Toronto. The city went into overdrive in 2007. The video below only takes us to 2019 and there are at least 12-15 more buildings over 300 feet not shown and we are in another major building boom again with another radical transformation.
Southern cities and mountain west cities will continue to outpace northern cities until the only advantage is weather. Then, there will be a better equilibrium. Work from home only expedited a trend that’s been going on for decades. Look at Denver, Boise, Austin, Atlanta.
Coastal cities seem to be the real outlier - Places like DC, Seattle, Boston. Though they aren’t seeing population growth like sunbelt cities across the south, they have a few things in common: Strong high-growth and/or reliable sector presence. Tech, bio, government. They appreciate at rates that mirror high growth areas, and I’m not sure that’s changing anytime soon, though a slowdown is imminent.
