Sorry, but no. 99% of the buildings in SoHo are not "modern buildings of mid heights". You could hardly pick a less representative neighborhood in the U.S. for that building typology.

It makes as much sense to say "Midtown Detroit will one day be Auburn Hills" as "Midtown Detroit will one day be SoHo". Both places, like most places on earth, happen to have some midrise buildings of somewhat recent vintage.
