High-rise building

A multi-story and vertically oriented building, usually used as a residential, office and commercial property. The Swiss definition of this globally very elastic term is provided by the Association of Cantonal Building Insurers, which uses the term "high-rise" only for buildings with a total height of at least 30 meters. 

With a height of 205 meters, Switzerland's tallest building, Roche Tower 2, is well above this and, together with Roche Tower 1, is the only two buildings in Switzerland to meet the internationally accepted standard for "skyscrapers". This is how buildings with a height of 150 meters or more are usually referred to.
