Definition

  • High-rise housing is usually defined as a residential building with five or more stories found in urban or suburban areas, but the number of stories can vary depending on researcher perspectives. High-rise housing is a typical form of multifamily housing, which usually falls into three categories considering height: low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise.
