List of tallest buildings in New Jersey

This list of tallest buildings in New Jersey ranks skyscrapers and high-rises in the U.S. state of New Jersey by height. The tallest building in New Jersey is the 79-story 99 Hudson Street in Jersey City, which topped out at 900 feet (274 m) in September 2018. It is the 51st-tallest building in the United States, as well as the 15th-tallest residential building in the United States. The 42-story 30 Hudson Street, known widely as the Goldman Sachs Tower, which rises 781 feet (238 m) at Exchange Place in Jersey City is the state's tallest commercial building. It is also the 97th-tallest building in the United States. The tallest building in New Jersey outside Jersey City is the 57-story Ocean Resort Casino, which rises 709 feet (216 m) in Atlantic City and ranks as the second-tallest casino tower in the United States.

The vast majority of skyscrapers and high-rises in New Jersey are concentrated in Jersey City, Newark, Atlantic City, Fort Lee, and North Hudson. Amongst New Jersey cities, Jersey City has the most buildings exceeding 330 feet (100 m) in height at 39 buildings, followed by Atlantic City with 12 buildings, Newark with 9 buildings, and Fort Lee with 7 buildings.

The first skyscraper in New Jersey was the Firemen's Insurance Building, built in 1910 in Newark. The first skyscraper boom in New Jersey largely began in the 1920s and 1930s, largely concentrated in Newark, with the construction of various iconic buildings such as the National Newark Building and the Military Park Building. Newark had a small high-rise building boom in the 1960s to 1970s, followed by decades of little construction. Although Jersey City's first skyscraper, the Labor Bank Building, was built in 1928, the city did not have much of a skyline presence until a small building boom in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the 2000s, Jersey City's building boom truly kicked off. Jersey City and Newark have experienced large building booms in the 2010s, particularly toward the end of the decade, both of which have continued into the present. Atlantic City has had two distinct building booms, the first occurring in the 1980s and the second in the 2000s, both largely consisting of the construction of casino buildings.
