Brief History

In 1883 work started on St Thomas Church in St Helier, upon its completion in 1887, standing at 197 ft (60m), it was the tallest structure in the Channel Islands, and it stayed that way until La Collette Chimney was constructed in 1966. Technically the only skyscraper on the island, it stands at 348ft (106m) and has been the tallest structure in Jersey ever since.

In 1963, the first high-rise building was constructed, with the La Collette High-Rise. Later in the 1970s many more high-rise buildings were built, especially in 1972 with De Quetteville Court, the Le Marais blocks and The Cedars being built. The Cedars was particularly important as it was and still is the tallest inhabitable building on the Island. Ever since then, many more high-rise buildings were built, but quite a few under 30 metres (98 ft), so are not on this list.

As of November 2023^[update] there are 24 buildings/structures in jersey over 30 meters tall with three more under construction or approved.
