Brief history

In 1883 work started on St Thomas Church in St Helier, upon its completion in 1887, it was the tallest structure in the Channel Islands, standing at 197 ft (60m). It stayed that way until La Collette Chimney was constructed in 1966. 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 when the De Quetteville Court, the Le Marais blocks and The Cedars were built. The Cedars 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 2025 there are 25 buildings/structures in Jersey over 30 meters tall with two more under construction or approved.
