When this 79-story, 900-foot-tall condo tower opens, it will become the tallest building in New Jersey. Announced in January of 2015, the high-rise is being developed by China Overseas America, Inc., and will house 781 units, along with 15,000 square feet of commercial and retail space. Ground was broken in January of 2016. [Rendering via City of Jersey City]

Billionaire Reebok founder Paul Fireman has proposed building a casino, the world's largest Ferris Wheel, and a 95-story tower to compete with Atlantic City. No word yet on where, exactly, it would go (City Hall has been used as a placeholder on some maps), especially because there's one large hurdle for Fireman to overcome: New Jersey law currently only allows casinos in Atlantic City. Mark this one down as "to be continued."

Sticking out like a sore thumb against the Jersey skyline, this 780-foot tower is the tallest building currently standing in the state of New Jersey. Although it was originally intended solely for Goldman Sachs, the building now houses other tenants, including the Royal Bank of Canada. [Photo by Evan Bindelglass]

This project used to be called URL Harborside, URL standing for "Urban Ready Life." Renamed, it's still a boxy, three-building project designed by Dutch firm concrete and developed by Ironstate and Mack Cali. Each of the three towers will be 713 feet tall, with approximately 2,358 aparments spread across the entire complex. The buildings are amenity-heavy, with offerings like a rooftop pool, on-site cafe, and fitness center available to residents. Significant construction has been completed on the first tower, but no occupancy date is currently available. [Photo via Ironstate]

The Revel Atlantic City was doomed from the start—a recent New Yorker article goes long on what led to its demise—but as it stands, the now-vacant hotel and casino remains one of the state's tallest buildings, at 710 feet tall. After opening in 2012, the casino was plagued by accidents and financial problems, eventually going bankrupt twice and closing in 2014. The future of the building is currently up in the air.

Jared Kushner keeps snapping up property in Jersey City, including this two-acre site near his other construction, 30 Journal Square. Since the property is so new, all we know is that it's expected to be around 700 feet tall, and no completion date has been set yet. [Photo via Google Maps]

The second-tallest of the three planned residential towers in the Journal Squared complex will rise to 635 feet and have over 60 floors. [Rendering via Hollwich Kushner]

And finally, the smallest of Kushner's towers in the Journal Squared complex, coming in at a not-too-shabby 562 feet tall. Of the three towers, this is the only one that's currently under construction, with leasing expected to launch this winter. [Photo via QuallsBenson]

One of the older buildings on this list—it was completed in 1992—this is currently the third-tallest open, existing building in New Jersey, standing at 548 feet high. It's also notably home to a nest of peregrine falcons, whose antics can be seen on a live webcam. [Photo via Wally Gobetz/flickr]

At 532 feet tall, this is (currently) the tallest residential building in New Jersey and was planned to have been one of two in its complex. Even though the original plan for a companion tower originally fell through, it has since been resurrected as 65 Bay Street. [Photo via Google Maps]

This 531-foot office building, built in 1991, is connected to the Newport Centre Mall. Fun fact: Some of the HVAC units on the roof had to be delivered by helicopter. [Photo via Mark Chang/flickr]

This 525-foot tower—the second-tallest in Atlantic City—is attached to Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, one of the several remaining casinos still operating in the beachfront town. Though the rest of the resort opened in 1980, the 45-floor addition was built in 2008 as a way to compete with the more modern casinos that had since popped up in AC. At night, its exterior lights up with a large LED display. [Photo via banspy/Flickr]

Developed by Ironstate Development Company and Panepinto Properties, 70 Columbus is a 500-foot-tall rental building containing 545 luxury units including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. It opened in November of 2015 and is currently 80 percent leased. [Photo via Ironstate]

Also being developed by Ironstate Development Company and Panepinto Properties, 90 Columbus will feature 539 rental apartments in a building rising to 500 feet. Ground was broken earlier this year, and completion is expected in October of 2018. It is the final building of the four-phase Columbus project, joining the 50 and 70 Columbus rental buildings for a combined rental unit count of 1,484, and 80 Columbus, a 150-key Marriott Residence Inn that is currently under construction and expected to open this winter.

This luxury apartment building has two towers—Monaco North and Monaco South—both of which are 500 feet tall. The luxe rentals range from studios to three-bedrooms, and some even have Manhattan skyline views. [Photo via Google Maps]

70 Greene Street's sibling is on the other side of the block, and rises to the same height of 500 feet. This building, however, houses condominiums. [Photo via Google Maps]

This 450-unit rental apartment tower is the first step in the remaking of downtown Fort Lee. Already known for its, uh, "traffic problems," many fear this tower, its planned twin, and the neighboring Hudson Lights mixed-use development will make getting around the area even harder. The 47-floor building is 496 feet tall. [Photo by Evan Bindelglass]

The Modern II will be a twin of its 47-story neighbor to the north, with an address of 100 Park Avenue. Groundbreaking was held in April of 2016. Completion is expected in the summer of 2018.

This glassy tower is part of the ever-growing Harborside complex, though at 480 feet tall, it's not quite the tallest building of the bunch. [Photo via Google Maps]

Developed by Ironstate and Kushner Real Estate Group (KRE), this residential building is being constructed on the site of an old coal bunker and will have 549 rental units, with another 10-story building next to it with 131 units. Though it won't come close to being one of the state's tallest, it'll still rise to 475 feet upon completion. [Rendering via HLW]
