The term "high-rise" refers to a building that has multiple floors and is significantly taller than other surrounding structures. The height of a high-rise building can vary, but it generally stands at least 150 feet (46 meters) tall or more. High-rises are often found in urban areas and are used for residential, commercial, or mixed purposes such as offices, hotels, and apartments. The term "high-rise" is also sometimes used to describe buildings with specific architectural features, such as a steel framework and large windows.
