In terms of taller buildings, they will most likely follow major transit routes. Places like LIC and DoBro along with Journal Square/Newport in JC are well connected. LIC is a start, and I suspect that everything in the proxies (which is happening now) and along the major train lines (+1 mile away from the major route path; perpendicular) heading Northeast, Southeast, and just East will see greater height.

Places like Flushing will also see higher developments. I'd expect densification to lower away from major subway lines / elevated rail and include a general increase in height (where talking 6-10 floors) then the average low rise . mid-rise scattered, but not concentrated like we see in LIC where we are seeing a huge difference going from 5-6 stories to 40+ for many projects.

Unless of course certain neighborhoods that are mostly residential (and far from transit in certain queens/Brooklyn neighborhoods) allow for commercial rezoning, then maybe we can see some nice mixed used, but developers are keen on making sure they are close to transit.

If given the right data on permits issued and the average floor/height, you could probably use ArcGIS to analyze differences between lets say 2000, 2010, and 2020 (being the projected value). You'll most likely see that they follow transit lines, with density gradient tapering off as you head perpendicular from it.
