The South Loop alone is far denser than most sun belt downtowns as it is. Even if it isn't as tall or bulky as say Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, etc, I'd wager that it would definitely be the most urban and impressive from a pedestrian standpoint.
Really, in the US only a dozen or so cities on the east and west coast and a select few in the Midwest could really rival the South Loop. Crown it!

IIRC, the Vinoly tower at Michigan and Roosevelt was to be marginally taller than OGP/NEMA. Maybe around 935' or so. Since we mostly likely aren't going to get the Vinoly design for the 2nd tower anyhow, hopefully whatever design they go with bumps up the height to 950-1000'.
