Skyline of Jersey City (Use cursor to identify)

The history of skyscrapers in Jersey City began with the 1928 completion of Labor Bank Building, which is often regarded as the first skyscraper in the city; it rises 15 floors and 179 feet (55 m) in height.[4][5] The building, now known as "26 Journal Square", was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[4] Jersey City went through a relatively small building boom in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and then entered a larger period of commercial and residential high-rise construction in the late 1990s. This second boom has resulted in the construction of many of the city's tallest buildings, including 30 Hudson Street and the Harborside Financial Center development. There are currently 35 completed buildings that stand at least 300 feet (91 m) in height, with another 17 under construction, approved for construction, or proposed for construction. In addition, Jersey City is the site of nine buildings that rise at least 492 feet (150 m) in height, including those under construction. Overall, Jersey City's skyline is ranked (based on existing and under-construction buildings over 492 feet (150 m) tall) first in New Jersey, fifth in the Northeast (after New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh) and fourteenth in the United States.[A] As of March 2017, there are 110 completed high-rises in the city.[6]

Jersey City's skyscraper construction boom that began in the late 1990s has continued to the present, with 30 of the city's 35 tallest buildings being completed after 1997.
