High-rises in Jersey City along the Hudson River

Jersey City is the second-largest city in the U.S state of New Jersey, and the third most populous city in the New York metropolitan area. As of 2025, there are over 120 completed high-rises in the city.[1] 58 of them are taller than 300 feet (91 meters), 18 of which are over 492 feet (150 m) in height. The tallest building in the city is the 76-story 99 Hudson Street at 889 feet (271 m), a residential tower completed in 2020. It is the tallest building in New Jersey.[2][3] Jersey City has the most high-rises in the New York metropolitan area outside of New York City itself, and the most skyscrapers of any American city that is not the largest city in its metropolitan area. Jersey City's skyline is one of the largest in the Northeastern United States. It is the city with the third-most skyscrapers taller than 492 ft (150 m) in the region, after New York City and Boston, and ahead of Philadelphia.

The history of skyscrapers in Jersey City began with the 1928 completion of the 15-story Labor Bank Building, regarded as the first skyscraper in the city.[4][5] Now known as 26 Journal Square, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Despite being adjacent to Lower Manhattan, Jersey City saw little high-rise development until the 1980s. For most of the remaining 20th century, the tallest buildings in the city were part of The Beacon, a medical development operated by the Jersey City Medical Center. Deindustrialization and depopulation led to a period of urban decline during the mid-20th century. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the formerly industrial waterfront was redeveloped into numerous high-rise buildings such as Newport Tower and 101 Hudson Street, as the city underwent an economic renaissance.[6][7]

Jersey City went through a larger period of commercial and residential high-rise development beginning from the late 1990s, which has continued to the present. This boom has resulted in the construction of many of the city's tallest buildings, such as 30 Hudson Street, an office skyscraper standing 781 ft (238 m) tall. Completed in 2004, it is currently the city's second tallest building. However, most new high-rises have been residential. Jersey City's skyscraper boom is a part of a larger city-wide apartment boom, which has been attributed towards its accessibility to Manhattan.[8][9][10] The city had one of the fastest-growing skylines in the United States during the early 21st century, with the number of buildings taller than 300 ft (91 m) rising from 10 in 2000 to 58 by 2025.

Most of Jersey City's skyscrapers are located in along the city's waterfront on the Hudson River, which separates the city from Lower Manhattan and its skyscrapers to the west. This area of Downtown Jersey City, known as Exchange Place, is nicknamed "Wall Street West" due to its concentration of financial companies. Since the early 2020s, a second major cluster of skyscrapers has formed in the district of Journal Square, which is further inland. Beginning with the three-tower Journal Squared complex, Journal Square is undergoing substantial urban development alongside improved transit links.[11][12] To a lesser extent, high-rise development is also occurring in the city's northern end, sometimes referred to as "Soho West".[13] Due to their proximity, Jersey City's skyline is often pictured together with that of Lower Manhattan.
