For residential buildings, I think the Hepburn and the Amaris are noteworthy. The Hepburn is located next to the Hilton on Connecticut Ave, NW, where John Hinckley attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan. The building compliments the hotel
For adaptive reuse (the building was built long before this century), I think Bluejacket, an excellent brewery at the Navy Yard/Capital Riverfront, is the best example.
Salesforce Tower is great. It looks like a big dick which is perfect for San Francisco because we're a big dick city. Only 850,000 people yet our influence reaches every corner of the globe.

They even got Republicans to like them for a short period of time

A fountain spewing from the roof would be a real classy touch.
That reminds me of the Museum of History, in Gatineau (Hull), Quebec (across the river from Ottawa):

The "New City" development along the east side of Atlanta's Beltline has won high praise. I'm not very adept at posting pictures but here's a link to the thread and the final couple pages (17 and 18) have images that show how spectacular it turned out. This is in the part of Atlanta known as the "Old Fourth Ward".
For Pittsburgh I will go with The Tower @ Plaza. This was the greenest office tower upon completion and PNC is one of the greenest corporations on earth. The Tower @ PNC Plaza was completed in 2015 and is the second PNC tower built in the 2000's.

My choice too. Sadly, Salt Lake has been fairly disappointing in the high-rise department this century. A decent amount to select from but nothing that anyone would consider 'a best', which kinda hits on something we were just talking about in the SLC thread but I won't drag that into here.
Maybe for high-rises, the Grand America, which opened in 2004 ... but I'm sure some find it tacky (it's grown on me over the years):
For Atlanta, my vote would be for Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It's a stunning structure that was the 1st professional sports stadium in the US to achieve LEED Platinum status.
Watching the roof open/close and the 62,000sf halo board make for a memorable experience.
