residential towers

Tall living structures

Residential towers are tall buildings containing apartments or condominiums, typically ten or more stories.

The term emphasizes height and density, distinguishing these structures from low-rise apartment buildings: The skyline is dominated by residential towers.

Developers build residential towers in urban areas where land is expensive and demand for housing is high.
