Here are the ten tallest american skyscrapers (outside of NYC & Chicago) by floor count, according to the SSP database:
1. Miami - panorama tower - 81 floors
2. Seattle - columbia center - 76 floors
3. Houston - 600 travis - 75 floors
4. LA - US bank tower - 73 floors
5. LA - Wilshire Grand - 73 floors
6. Dallas - BofA plaza - 72 floors
7. Houston - wells fargo plaza - 71 floors
8. Atlanta - westin peachtree - 70 floors
9. Detroit - ren cen marriott - 70 floors
10. Miami - aston martin - 66 floors
My best guess says that Miami will probably be the first US city (outside of NYC & Chicago) to build an 85+ floor tower. Miami builds a lot of tall residential, and that kind of floor count will be easier to achieve in a residential tower (they typically have much lower floor-to-floor heights than office towers).

Wikipedia's lists Panorama at 85 stories but I have seen 82 or 81 usually listed for it.
