Esplanade, car parks for future home of the Royal Bank of Canada

Jersey Island, the largest and fastest growing of the Channel Islands, has in recent years become known as a centre for alternative asset classes, including hedge, real estate and private equity funds. Located in a prime position within the heart of St Helier’s financial district in Jersey, Esplanade 66, 37 and 27, over a length of 250 m from each other, constructed of the highest quality materials, provide high grade office accommodation at Esplanade Gateway. The new Esplanade Quarter on St Helier’s waterfront
is a landmark in this financial district.

Esplanade 66 may be best known as being the future home of the Royal Bank of Canada, with its area of 165,000 sq ft providing the largest exclusive business environment. Esplanade 37 comprises a total of 83,000 sq ft of Grade “A” office space over 7 floors with up to 33 car park spaces within the basement area and a roof terrace on the top floor. Esplanade 27 provides 70,000 sq ft of luxury office space over 7 floors with an underground car park.
