Abstract: Let $M$ be a complex manifold which admits an exhaustion by open subsets $M_j$ each of which is biholomorphic to a fixed domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{C}^n$. The main question addressed here is to describe $M$ in terms of $Omega$. Building on work of Fornaess--Sibony, we study two cases namely, $M$ is Kobayashi hyperbolic and the other being the corank one case in which the Kobayashi metric degenerates along one direction. When $M$ is Kobayashi hyperbolic, its complete description is obtained when $Omega$ is one of the following domains -- (i) a smoothly bounded Levi corank one domain, (ii) a smoothly bounded convex domain, (iii) a strongly pseudoconvex polyhedral domain in $mathbb{C}^2$, or (iv) a simply connected domain in $mathbb{C}^2$ with generic piecewise smooth Levi-flat boundary. With additional hypotheses, the case when $Omega$ is the minimal ball or the symmetrized polydisc in $mathbb{C}^n$ can also be handled. When the Kobayashi metric on $M$ has corank one and $Omega$ is either of (i), (ii) or (iii) listed above, it is shown that $M$ is biholomorphic to a locally trivial fibre bundle with fibre $mathbbC$ over a holomorphic retract of $Omega$ or that of a limiting domain associated with it. Finally, when $Omega=Deltaimesmathbb{B}^{n-1}$, the product of the unit disc $DeltasubsetmathbbC$ and the unit ball $mathbb{B}^{n-1}subsetmathbb{C}^{n-1}$, a complete description of holomorphic retracts is obtained. As a consequence, if $M$ is Kobayashi hyperbolic and $Omega=Deltaimesmathbb{B}^{n-1}$, it is shown that $M$ is biholomorphic to $Omega$. Further, if the Kobayashi metric on $M$ has corank one, then $M$ is globally a product; in fact, it is biholomorphic to $ZimesmathbbC$, where $ZsubsetOmega=Deltaimesmathbb{B}^{n-1}$ is a holomorphic retract.
