Skyline of Jersey City in January 2006 (Use cursor to identify)

This list of tallest buildings in Jersey City ranks skyscrapers and high-rises in the U.S. city of Jersey City, New Jersey by height. The tallest building in Jersey City is the 79-story 99 Hudson Street, which topped out at 900 feet (274 m) in September 2018. It is currently the tallest building in New Jersey and 50th-tallest building in the United States.[1][2] The 42-story 30 Hudson Street, known widely as the "Goldman Sachs Tower", which rises 781 feet (238 m) and was completed in 2004, is the second-tallest building in Jersey City.[3] It was the 91st-tallest building in the United States as of 2021, and the second-tallest building in the state of New Jersey. The third-tallest skyscraper in Jersey City is the 70-story Journal Squared Tower 2 at 754 feet (230 m). Nine of the ten tallest buildings in New Jersey are located in Jersey City. With a population of less than 300,000, Jersey City is the least populous city in the U.S. with a building over 750 feet (229 m) tall.

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. The construction boom has continued to the present.[6] Since 2002, the city has seen consistent growth in the number of new buildings that are 410 feet (125 m) or higher.[7] As of February 2022, there are 122 completed high-rises in the city.[8] Thirty completed buildings stand at least 410 feet (125 m) in height.

In addition, Jersey City's skyline is ranked (based on completed buildings over 492 feet (150 m) tall as of November 2022) first in New Jersey with 17 buildings, third in the Northeast (after New York City, and Boston), 10th in the United States, and 79th in the world.[A]
