A high-rise building is a tall building, as opposed to a low-rise building and is defined differently in terms of height depending on the jurisdiction. It is used as a residential, office building, or other functions including hotel, retail, or with multiple purposes combined. Residential high-rise buildings are also known in some varieties of English, such as British English, as tower blocks and may be referred to as `MDUs`, standing for `multi-dwelling unit`.[1][full citation needed] A very tall high-rise building is referred to as a skyscraper.
