High-rise apartment - How do you say that?

I was writing in my answer on Word of the Day and realized I have no idea how to say high-rise apartment. I got rasacielos when I put it in the dictionary but I think that is more of a skyscraper.
Anybody know the word for high-rise?

How many floors before it becomes rascacielos? - katydew, Mar 22, 2012
And Hecho, if it is more than one high-rise, what is the plural? - katydew, Mar 22, 2012
How tall...jejeje...you could ask the same question in English. How tall does a building need to be before it's called a "skyscraper." - --Mariana--, Mar 22, 2012
