Bellevue has a good start. Amazon HQ1b's tsunami is in full force already, with nine towers underway in its downtown. Facebook keeps growing at the Spring District. Light rail arrives at several Bellevue stations in early 2023 (its residents already kill many core cities in transit commute share). Quite a bit of TOD is underway already, and the city is embracing a lot more. Something like 17 highrises are underway.
(Jersey City is separate in the OP, so we're talking city limits rather than markets.)
The inclusion of Greenville SC is interesting to me. It seems so out of place amongst these other cities. I know it's doing good economically but I think it's still too small to be included in this grouping.

Keep in mind that Salt Lake is definitely not getting "skyscrapers" but rather towers or highrises, whichever term you prefer. Same for Boise, so Greenville should be a contender. The cities where "skyscrapers" are being built are the largest cities.

I get that this thread is more about infill. Just not sure how Greenville is a standout compared to several cities that were not included. Not sure what makes it more of a contender than the several dozen other midsized cities with a lot of infill happening. With so many cities that are red hot it just seems like an outlier. Though I believe the OP is more familiar with that part of the country so that may have something to do with it.
Chicago has a lot of skyscraper construction but the population seems stagnant in terms of growth
Corporate America has a lot of faith in Chicago, and thus all the new construction. Real estate downtown is still tight for residential, and every new project sells immediately. Chicago has been #1 in corporate expansion in for the last 8 years, Sorry Austin and Dallas. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...0the%20country.
Chicago's population has not gone up alot, yet new construction abounds, and the demand keeps up with all the building. Even in the west loop, a ghetto 20 years ago, $2 million condos are selling at a rapid pace.
Which US Cities will grow with skyscraper development, over the course of the next decade?
I think the leading "newer" cities will be these--
Austin, TX (continued skyscraper boom growth) Nashville, TN (continued skyscraper boom growth) Charlotte, NC (continued skyscraper growth) Raleigh, NC -- downtown should see 6-8 more skyscrapers + this decade Salt Lake City, UT - downtown could see another 5-8 skyscrapers overall Greenville, SC - could go either way, but economic growth points to development downtown
I think 3 "older" cities that wil lead with increased skyscraper development will be these--
New York City, NY (downtown Brooklyn, Long Island City and Manhattan continue strong) Seattle, WA (skyscraper pace of construction continues decently well) Jersey City, NJ (as NYC grows, so does Jersey City, and the skyline growth is impressive)
Chime in with your thoughts and picks as well.
Chicago has a fleet of skyscrapers under construction/approved to build right now that by themselves would eclipse the entire skylines of all of the places in the first category.
They don't even get brought up of course, but a lukewarm 280 foot tower with a giant surface parking lot equals INSANE GROWTH for our new generation of metropolis!
Lol.
Also Charlotte is about 70 years older than Chicago and Austin is only two years younger. They get boosted as "new" to conceal the fact that they sat mostly dormant and irrelevant for hundreds of years.
For quantity/height, I'm going with Los Angeles, Miami, NYC, and Chicago. Seattle isn't building very tall these days.
New Haven, CT - large infusion of cash by Yale, the State of CT, and the Feds. Will play a role similar to Jersey City, except with a large emphasis on education, medicine, biotech, and culture instead of finance.
Noticeable development projects:
- Union Station redevelopment + good timing with infrastructure bill (one of the hubs on the Northeast Corridor - Acela, Amtrak NE Regional, NYC Metro-North Commuter Rail, CT Rail, Shoreline East) see: https://www.newhavenindependent.org/...ned_and_sealed
- $185M redevelopment of historically Black Dixwell neighborhood by Black investors (see: https://www.newhavenindependent.org/..._dixwell_plaza)
- Tweed Airport expansion
- Lots of new housing units coming online (consensus among progs. and mods to build housing unlike some West Coast cities - Yankee practicality)
- Biotech expansion with Yale, start-ups, and the Pfizer clinical research unit
- Yale School of Drama being tuition free - further elevates strong arts community
- Yale's $7.5 billion campaign will have outsized impact on New Haven
- Peabody Museum (Natural History) renovation + expansion done by 2024
- Increased state PILOT funding given large number of tax exempt properties: https://www.newhavenindependent.org/..._pilot_doubles

Taking the diplomatic approach, I foresee dozens of cities as development hotspots in the coming decade, far more than the shared list.
I definitely agree here.
