The first skyscraper in New Jersey was theFiremen'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 theNational Newark Building and theMilitary 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, theLabor Bank Building, was built in 1928, the city did not have much of askyline 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.
This list ranks New Jersey skyscrapers that stand at least 300 feet (91 m) tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed.
