As of now, but we do know the Brooklyn supertall of over 1,000 ft is in the works. It would be taller than the JC tower or the tower here.

It would be interesting if more air rights were bought in here to go for a taller tower.

The developers had initially wanted to buy 750,000 square feet, so they could build a tower higher than 90 stories.

I get the impression that Brooklyn and Queens will battle for tallest eventually. And there's another LIC tower to contend with, though how tall it will be is anybody's guess.
