The other two places I can see development like this in the next 10-20 years would be Queens, and the Bronx, and that is because they aren't isolated from the world of large buildings.

Queens is doing fine already. Gotham Center, Long Island City, etc.
Brooklyn really is turning into a wonderful area. Brooklyn Bridge Park, these new towers, Barclays Center, etc.
Bronx has work to do, but I like Via Verde, Bruckner, etc. Not tall, but they're nice stepping stones.
Staten Island? Who cares? I consider Jersey City the fifth borough, anyway.
