It would have to be at least ~950 to really stick out here.
In that case it's not just NYC, SF's Salesforce Tower is a supertall signature office tower built relatively recently. I could see Miami or Austin pulling one at some point.
I'll agree though that the best hope for Chicago's next supertall is a mixed use or residential tower. Unless we get really lucky with Chase.

And those days barely even existed.
In the entire history of Chicago, there have only ever been two office towers with occupiable height above 900' (Sears and Aon).
And they were both built a half-century ago in a very different time.

Modern technology and higher ceiling heights make it a bit easier nowadays though.
