It is really straddling the line of high-rise, who knows whether it is or not, because they don't list the actual height anywhere on the website. At 22 floors, it really depends on how high each floor is. If it is 14 ft, then the total will be 22x14, 308', which is approximately 94 meters (not a high-rise). If it is 15 ft, then the total would be 330', or 100.5 meters (high-rise). If it is a situation where each floor is 14 ft, and the base is double height, making it 322 ft high, then it is approximately 98 meters (not a high-rise).
A skyscraper would be 200m+ and a supertall 300m+. These technical details are somewhat fuzzy, as in some places a high-rise is anything over 50m, and a skyscraper is over 150m. Either way it is definitely a welcome project for Treasure Island.
