Centuries after Jersey’s story of growth and expansion
began, this location will once again become a hub of
activity, creating new public and private spaces that are
flexible, adaptable and inclusive for Islanders to enjoy.
The Les Sablons vision is to create a vibrant place to
visit, stay, eat, drink and shop. A new walkway and
large landscaped vibrant courtyard, from Broad Street
through to Commercial Street, will deliver a pedestrianised
connection from the centre of town to Liberty Wharf, and
will include landscaping with trees, plants and artwork
created by local artists who are acclaimed internationally.
