The vast majority of skyscrapers and high-rises in New Jersey are concentrated in Jersey City, Newark, Atlantic City, Fort Lee, and North Hudson.

The first skyscraper in New Jersey was the Firemen'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 construction of various iconic buildings such as the National Newark Building and the Military 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, the Labor Bank Building, was built in 1928, the city did not have much of a skyline 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 had two distinct building booms, first in the 1980s and again in the 2000s, largely the construction of casino buildings.
