In the entire history of Chicago, there have only been two office towers built with occupiable height above 900', Sears and Aon, and they're both now nearing a half-century old.
I wouldn't place any bets on a third happening anytime soon. Not if the past is anything to go on....

You never know though, it's easier to build very tall buildings with modern technology. Maybe we're overdo.
Philly and SF managed to pull it off relatively recently. Cheating spires are dumb but decorative rooftop adornments are okay I guess.
