high-rise towers
Urban vertical structures
Tall buildings, typically residential or commercial, that rise many stories above street level.
The phrase is somewhat redundant—high-rise already implies a tower—but emphasizes verticality: The skyline filled with high-rise towers over the past decade.
Common in urban planning and real estate contexts to describe dense vertical development.
