I think a major difference between those cities and GR is that the downtown area in those other cities usually have large office buildings. All the tallest buildings in GR are basically residential or hotels.

GR's economy doesn't seem to have companies of size and structure needed for tall office buildings. However, given GR's current pace of economic growth, that could change pretty soon.
