What is a "high-rise"?

A high-rise is a tall building with many floors, typically designed for residential, commercial, or mixed-use purposes. High-rises are commonly found in urban areas where space is limited, and they provide a way to accommodate large numbers of people or businesses in a smaller ground area. These buildings are often equipped with elevators to allow easy access to higher floors and may include amenities like parking, gyms, or pools. High-rises are a common feature of city skylines and are known for offering impressive views from upper levels.
