Having come online today reading through the few recent posts about how slow this thread is, this one really threw me off lol.

I would say it's less a mini skyline and more of a linear extension of downtown, at least when viewed from the harbor. I really like how highrises are going up. Since the buildings are on top of the hill, even though they are shorter, they keep the same skyline effect as the downtown towers due to elevation.
As for second mini-skylines, UTC definitely takes that spot. But if we're looking for a third mini-skyline (or fourth if you count Mission Valley), Hillcrest could be a contender. With their community plan update, I'm hoping more tall buildings can start going up there and giving it some real nice density. It will have the same hilltop effect that Bankers Hill has too. And from afar, we could hopefully start getting a nice line of "high"-rises from downtown to the rim of Mission Valley
