Houston is so large though maybe in a different part of the city it would be feasible.

Yes, Bank of Southwest was planned for downtown but oil bust canceled project. Chase Tower is just a smidge over 1,000' and probably would have been around 1,100' if it was to keep original design.
The only other area, where there are tall buildings is Galleria/ Uptown a few miles away and the tallest there is 901' (since 1983) but there was a proposal for a 1,000'+ about 15 years ago.
