A highrise is a building at least 35 (115 feet) meters tall.

A Skyscraper is a building at least 100 (328 feet) meters tall.

A Supertall skyscraper is a building at least 300 (984 feet) meters tall.

I think it would be fair to include all three categories, since the term "Skyscraper" originated in the 19th century and was applied to any building over 10 stories.
