Finance Centre building work to start in May

Plans for the new Jersey International Finance Centre

ITV News can reveal building work on the first building in the Jersey International Finance Centre could begin with the next three months.

Talks between the Jersey Development Company and a major tenant to occupy the first building on the Esplanade site are at an advanced stage, with a contract due to be signed in the next four weeks.

We understand the financial industry firm is an existing company in Jersey wanting to move out of its current office site and into the new "grade A" space being planned in St Helier.

We're hoping that we can begin construction on this building in May/June time of this year and we'll be looking for that building to be completed in early 2017.

– Lee Henry, Jersey Development Company
