high-rises
Urban vertical structures
High-rises are tall buildings, typically residential or commercial structures with many stories.
The term usually implies buildings tall enough to require elevators—roughly ten floors or more.
The skyline filled with glass high-rises.
A single building is a high-rise: She lives in a high-rise downtown.
