highrise
Tall apartment building
A highrise or high-rise is a tall building, typically one with many stories used for residential or commercial purposes.
The term generally applies to buildings tall enough to require elevators rather than just stairs.
As an adjective, it describes things associated with such buildings: highrise apartments, highrise living.
The cutoff for what qualifies as a highrise varies by context, but buildings of roughly ten stories or more typically earn the designation.
