I would say that right now it is comparable to the above cities, but by 2020 it will be ranking with the second-tier skylines in the US, right below those of Manhattan and Chicago.
I'm sure someone has #s for 500'+ structures, but JC will easily outpace most major metro areas in that regard within five years.
Off Wiki, JC has 5 buildings of 500'+ at the moment, and 7 if you include the Monaco Towers which are 499' tall.
In the near-future, there will be at least nine more towers of 500'+, with five rising in Journal Square and the San Remo + URL rising in JC. That is probably leaving out several developments, as well.
Several of the above will be above 700', too -- the URL Towers and JSquared.
As of today, Atlanta has 15 buildings of 500'+, LA has 22, and Seattle has 13. None of the above compare to JC in terms of the volume of skyscrapers u/c.
While LA may be out of reach, JC certainly stands a chance at overtaking both Atlanta and Seattle by 2020...
