High rise clusters, not CBD

This is the place to share information and pictures about high rise clusters that are not part of your central business district or even connected to it.

(as examples, the greater downtown area in Chicago would be eliminated in the sense that it is one continuous high rise district: Loop, Mag Mile, River North, South Loop, Gold Coast, etc.. In Manhattan, both Downtown and Midtown would count separately since they are not attached by high rises straight through.)

where are the major clusters located away from downtown and is their purpose more residential high rise? commerical? true mix of purposes (i.e. Century City). How important are they to the city and how well tied in with the city's transporation system?

While in-city/non CBD is the intention, edge cities part of the metro area (i.e. Tyson in VA) or suburbs with extensive skylines (i.e. Clayton, MO) can be included. And metros like the Bay Area can certainly be looked at has having non-main downtown (in this case: SF) clusters in the downtowns of Oakland and San Jose, as would be any major cluster in NYC's outer boroughs.>
