IGH
Explanation:
FR uses the acronym IGH (= immeuble de grande hauteur) as an exact parallel with 'high-rise' in EN — which is not necessarily the same as 'skyscraper', which is in any case a more colloquial term!)

Plenty of examples on the 'Net with definitions, e.g.

Immeuble de grande hauteur — Wikipédia

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immeuble_de_grande_hauteur

... Dans le droit français, un immeuble de grande hauteur (abrégé IGH), appelé dans le langage commun tour ou gratte-ciel, est une construction ...

Reference: high-rise / MDU

Reference information:
"Billions of dollars are spent annually delivering high speed fiber networks to Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs) —apartments, condos, and student-housing—across North America. Service providers recognize the rich potential returns on a fiber investment in such high-density markets. Fiber connections will bring fast, reliable, content-rich services to millions of households. However, poor planning of fiber network interfaces and service delivery to a consumer's media devices can leave everyone, from the builder/developer and building owner to the service provider and tenants/subscribers, frustrated.

Type of Building
BISCI's Residential Cabling Workbook classifies MDU's into three main categories: low-rise,
mid-rise, and high-rise.
• Low-rise MDUs are buildings such as townhouses.
• Mid-rise MDUs include duplexes, two-story apartments, small shared-tenant services, and nursing homes, in which the units are stacked upon one another.
• High-rise MDUs more are typically very large multi-story buildings."
